How can I disable the Recent Apps key?

[AC Question]

Is it possible to disable the recent apps key. My phone is having a malfunction, and the Recent App seems to activate randomly and rapidly (some times many times a second), without me touching it. I will get a warranty replacement, but that will take days, and in the mean time it's driving me crazy. Any help is appreciated?

Depending on your phone and carrier and version of android, you may be able to remove that button from the screen.
On my phone it is
settings / display / home touch buttons / button combination /
