Sorry, I got nothing. I tried a number of the suggestions I found for
registry edits, and none worked for me. And I didn't find anything natively
in mine (Home Premium also) that would disable F11.

You might want to try a key remapping program.
I am using one to remap the Caps Lock key so that
it does nothing. The program I am using is called
"Comfort Keys."

I have not tried this on a 64 bit OS, but there's no reason it should not
work. May have to be in admin mode though.

Here's another keymapper application (free)....

If you use a search engine (Google, etc) to find "windows keyboard remap"
you can find tons of info on how to modify your keyboard. One thing to
consider is whether or not any other software on the machine wants/needs the
F11 key.

Good luck with it.

Had you read the later post, he stated he mentioned the wrong key.
