Disabling only SOME windows hotkeys

In x32Win10ProV22H2, I would like more keys available to put 'proprietory' links on (using Autohotkey). When I tried the method shown in How to Disable Specific Windows Key Shortcut in Windows | Password Recovery to free up keys-for-windows-shortcuts, there were keys for which that did not work. The method involved adding the letters I want to free up, to the 'value data' of Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Disabled Hotkeys. Is there a more reliable method ? Other methods do not distinguish between using the left and the right WIN key, and most aim to kill ALL combinations - something I specifically do NOT want to do. For the left-Win key, I want to disable only Y, and for the right-Win key I want to disable only A, F, P, R, U and ;

Hi,
I have found some documentation on overriding and disabling external hotkeys using AutoHotkey. See also this page for hotkeys usage and syntax.
Hope that helps.

That looks VERY promising - thank you so much. Will report back when I have tried it.,

I do not need to free up keys after all, as Autohotkeys frees them up itself. I unwisely posted the question on an assumption without testing first.
