How 'bout you just delete any shortcuts associated with the program [Yes, even from the Start Menu and Program Files (on the Start Menu)]?

Then find the main program in it's folder - probably something like: Aim.exe. Right-click on that and click on the shortcut tab then find the Shortcut Key field and associate an easy out of the way key. Something along the lines of F6-9 and F10-12. Excuse the memory, but one of the double digits is utilized by IE as a Full Screen key. The others I skipped well... - F1: Usually brings Windows help; I don't know if you can disassociate that it'll probably take some digging, F2: I believe that brings up Search at least from my Win 95-98 days, F3: Is mostly used as Find Again or Next in any program, F4: Used in conjuction w/ Shift to close windows; again why chance it, F5: Most commonly Refresh in any Internet browser. And, there you have it!
