I am having a problem in some games with accidentally pressing the Windows key (windows logo) in some games. It is located on my computer between the Ctrl and Alt keys. How do I disable this key in DOSBox. Thank you.

you can remove that key from your keyboard. Should work.
Seriously ? I don't consider it a dosbox problem. Try the documentation of your operating system on how to disable it.

I hate those keys too. Here is a reg file for disabling them in Windows.
