Q: I am constantly fat fingering “Command – Escape”, which invokes Front Row. It’s irritating. Any way I can disable Front Row?

A: The best solution is to just disable the keyboard shortcut for Front Row. To do this, open System Preferences, go to Keyboard & Mouse and click on the “Keyboard Shortcuts” tab.

The very first option is “Hide and Show Front Row” . Uncheck the “on” check box, and you’re finished.
