Hi everybody!

We are developing application and dealing with problem with main Home button. We need to disable it, but when I disable it through Device Manager, the Volume buttons are disabled too. I know there is way how to do it in Surface app. But do you know any solution without need of installing any app, like registry settings etc. ? I'm using Win 8.1

Thanks!

Excuse me for being in the dark but which is the "Home" button on the Surface? Never mind. I found it on the F9 key on the keyboard. Sorry, for the interruption but I don't know how to disable a key on the Surface keyboard.

By Home button I mean touch button in the frame (marked in the picture)
