Hi,
Why you need to disable it ? Two functions are on a same key but you need to use Fn key (may be Shift key on some machines) and Insert key to Insert.
Regards.

Please help turn off print screen button function. I am constantly bumping this when trying to hit the tiny delete key next to it (poor keyboard design) and accidentally taking screenshots of sensitive material that I then have to delete manually. I do not need it to be able to insert either, just want this button not to work at all if possible. I have tried previous recommendations of trying to change Overtype in Word (checkbox is grayed out so this does not work) and the suggestion to change function keys does not work on this button.
