Thank you for showing how to disable Alt+S shortcut in Outlook.
For those who do not know what the issue is:
In Outlook Alt+S shortcut sends the mail by default. However, when typing Polish, Right_Alt+s inserts diacritic 'ś'. So, when one sends mails in both English and Polish like me, when I forget to switch to Polish language when intending to type 'ś', my unfinished mails is send out. This is VERY, VERY annoying, especially that it happens so often. The only remedy as far as I know is editing the registry. See Avoid Accidentally Sending Messages in Outlook.
It does work, Halleluiah!
Q1: However, it works for lower case s only. But if, e.g., you would like to wish somebody Happy Holidays (in Polish 'Wesołych Świąt'), your wishes are send after pressing Shift+Right_Alt+S.
I can live with that as there are not so many times that I need a capital 'Ś', but it would be nice to kill this shortcut once and for all.
Q2: I am not expert in editing Registry, so my newly added key is named 'default' rather than Del_Alt_S or something similar, and 'rename' is grayed.
Any suggestions on both of the above, please?
