Remap or disable the F2 key’s ability to toggle wifi on and off

remapping

On my Dell XPS 15 laptop, the top row of keys (the F1, F2, etc) serves two functions. They are both the F-number keys and the multimedia/misc controls and functions. In the BIOS you set them them to default to either be the F-number keys or their multimedia/misc roles. Then to use each key's non-default function you press the Fn key while you press the key. Mine are set to be multimedia non-F-number keys as the default, mainly because they are where the volume is controlled.

So the F2 key is also the wifi adapter on/off toggle. The problem is that I sometimes hit it by accident and turn off my wifi.

How can I remap this key to do nothing, or else just disable its ability to turn off the wifi, without affecting the normal Fn-F2 functionality (which is "rename" or "edit" in most situations)?

Thank you.

Edit: I should have mentioned that I don't want to install any software. I know there are ways to do it with registry changes so that's what I'd rather do. I just don't know what changes to make (that's why I'm here asking) Thanks again.

You can try to use SharpKeys to remap F2.
