I realize this is a program switcher key combo in most OSs. Is there a possibility of capturing such an event in the web page via JavaScript?

No, but why would you want to?
Are you looking to do some onfocus or onblur? Maybe those events are useful for you.

onblur works for some reason! it is reliable to some extent. when we hit the windows key atleast in IE it loses focus...

When you figured out how to disable Alt+Tab, I felt a great disturbance in The Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

Of course you can't capture this event, and of course you can't disable it. The browser doesn't own the computer, and you don't own the browser!
Why do you want to do this? Is this for an internal application, or one on the Internet, to be used by anyone?

Transitivity does is not implied. He may own the browser tab or window his user is using while he's using it, but that does not imply this application is so important that it supersedes anything else the user happens to be doing at the time.
