Many times I will accidentally fat finger the F1 key by accident and then have to wait a pretty long time for Help to open so I can immediately close it.

Does anyone know if there is a way to disengage this keystroke so that if I accidentally hit the button, nothing happens.

I would still like to be able to access help, but just not via the F1 key.

Thanks in advance!

Add Bullets to Range
Select range. Press Ctrl+1. On Number tab, choose Custom. Type Alt+7 then space then @ sign (using 7 on numeric keypad)
You can probably disable the F1 key through the registry, or keyboard mapping... but that would do so for every program...
