On my new Dell system, it's got a cardreader. More to the point, it's got an idiot menu key... *right* next to the right control key, and just where the annoying keyboard design has it cut down from the oversize space bar ASCII art
<ctrl><WinDoze> <tall[ ]<tall<tall<tall <ctrl> Alt>[ tall spacebar ] alt> Win> menu>
The result is that just trying to type, I regularly hit the thing. Does anyone have an idea how to disable this forever (if y'all don't, I'm prying the key *off*).
Thanks in advance.

I propose a hardware solution. Use an abundant amount of glue to disable it :-)

See maybe showkey, dumpkeys, loadkeys and xmodmap...

If it is that bad swap out the keyboard they are ten a penny.. Maybe you would enjoy the revenge element of butchering the offending key :-) ...
