Any keyboard shortcuts you routinely disable in your apps?

Are there any keyboard shortcuts that you routinely disable in you apps,
to avoid users getting wierd results or problems? If so, what are they?

And what technique do you use to disable them?

I have disabled the mouse wheel in some of my apps. But generally that
is all I have done. But I have one client who seems to have "creative"
users.

I generally give users full access to EVERYTHING. This has not been a
problem in almost thirty years. I have a general rule with my cients.
If it breaks and its my fault, I repair it for free and right away. If
it breaks and its your fault, I charge my going rate, and repair it at
my convenience. If you wanna have someone else mess with it, enjoy!
You can do whatever you like with the application within your system
(you may not sell, lend or give the application to anyone else). They
have all the code, the db window, mdb or adp or accdb, etc, etc, (but
I reserve ownership and right to use any database, code, sql etc
thingme in any way I want).
My clients have broken almost nothing in all that time, in fact the
only "breaks" I remember were made by hotshot IT geeks, showing off.

Yeah, I know. Clients think they should call the tune. And they can.
But not my tune.
