I'm trying for a week to disable the Alt+Esc shortcut in Windows 8, but I can't use any running tool like AutoHotKey.

Already searched in Regedit, Gpedit, Control Panel, and a lot of googling. However, I just found tutorials about disabling Win+X shortcuts or changing scancodes.

So, someone know how to disable only the Alt+Esc hotkey?

If those suggestions don't work you could try finding the process that allows Alt-Tab to work (it's not explorer.exe) and kill that process (if safe) while your lock is in place.

Well, the only partial solution which I can achieve, its to lock the application into full screen mode, and close all other applications which have a window context to be switched, in this way the shortcut don't get triggered.
