Disabling ALT key triggering the ribbon (Trados 2015)

Question

Is there a way to disable ALT+1, ALT+2, ALT+3, ALT+4, ALT+F, ALT+H, ALT+R, ALT+A, ALT+V, ALT+D, ALT+E triggering the ribbon menus? 
 They are useless as you can customize keyboard shortcuts, so for example to save the document, you can use CTRL+S or ALT+1.

I'm afraid not, these are windows defaults. But it would be good to be able to do this!

This has been driving me mad as well. 
 I found an external solution that makes the left ALT key function as the right ALTGr key, which may lead to some shortcuts not working or working in a different way, but the annoying triggering of the ribbon menu will be gone. 
 I use GlovePie for this. It's a programmable input emulator. Just google it. 
 
 This is script you need: 
 Key.RightAlt = swallow(Keyboard.LeftAlt) 
 
 Run the program, put the text in and press "Run" and it'll work. You can then save the script. 
 To keep from having to open the program and loading the script again everytime I run Trados Studio, I created a simple bat file with the following contents: 
 
 start glovepie.exe -nameofscript exit 
 
 The bat file and the script file have to be in the same folder as the glovepie.exe, otherwise it won't work. When you're done, just create a shortcut for the bat file and put it on your desktop to have easy access to it. 
 
 I hope this helps.
