not sure if you can check if the windows key is down, but i think the windows key is the equivilant of pressing ctrl + escape.

dont know how much use this is to you..

Makes the same result, but is not considered the same way ...

In fact, a few hours after posting my post, I found out you just have to disable windows shortcuts then the win keys are
    
VK_LWIN 5B Left Windows key 
VK_RWIN 5C Right Windows key 
VK_APPS 5D Applications key

You might want to take a peek through winuser.h just to see if the key is listed... You could try all of the VKs that nobody knows what they do, it might be one of them... Or you could simply write a small program to find out what the character code for it was and see if that will work...

Well, I got my reason to do it, but anyway, shortcuts are enabled in the prog core,
I deactivate them at Password ask time

Hey Anon, you do know that you can right click on the desktop and select properties to bring up the display properties, right? Or press crtl-ESC to bring up the start menu??

Some people, I tells ya.... They own a computer, they code, but they don''t REALLY know what they can do with it.
