Disabling main menu

Is there a way to NOT bring up the main menu when pressing ALT?
I know it's a Windows thing, but maybe there is a tweak to prevent XY from responding to it?

Either:
- Hide the menu altogether ::1061
- An Autohotkey script to disable Alt when XYplorer window is active

Thanks. Already tried 1061 but it doesnt keep ALT from brining it up anyway.
AutoHotKey sounds good, just have to figure out how to restrict it to XY, I still need ALT for other programs that don't feature the many alternatives XY has to offer.

Looks like you have set this tweak:

@Highend:

Settitlematchmode, 2
#Ifwinactive XYplorer ahk_class ThunderRT6FormDC
Alt::return
Notice the pound sign

Exactly the kind of tweak I hoped for, set it to zero and no more accidental ALT-presses. GREAT.
Thanks. Also to bino and highend - your lines did disable ALT in XY, as well as in everything downstream.
So I placed it at the very end of my .ahk and that did the trick, but got me wondering anyway. Also about IfWinActive vs #Ifwinactive - definitely takes more help-reading on my part.
