Q: 

How do I intercept Windows key under Windows 7?

Greetings,

I've implemented a low-level keyboard hook as described here. This works fine under WinXP. Problem is, under Windows 7 the left and right windows keys are no longer intercepted.

Any suggestions as to how to recapture these keys under Windows 7 greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Rony

+1  A: 

Take a look at the Win Kernel SDK for Windows 7 and program a "driver" that do hook this too.

Thank, I'll look this up.I was hoping there's a less painful solution, though...
