Windows 7: Creating shortcuts with Windows Key?

The keyboard shortcut WinKey + E opens up windows explorer. Is it possible to make your own custom keyboard shortcuts with the windows key? I've not had any success in mapping the Windows Key.

Hello Cyborg31,

My name is Dhiren and I work for the Social Media and Community Team at Dell.

The windows key is by default mapped to perform other functions(shortcuts) within windows .
Please refer to the below mentioned link for the list of available shortcuts for windows key . The list is available under the "Windows logo keyboard shortcuts "Tab.

However, You can customize a combination of other keys to open other programs.
The below mentioned link can be of assistance.
