Is it possible to disable the windows keys whilst my game is running?

Update: I've added this to the Blitz3D forum, as I accidentally posted here.

I gonna say you can't in blitz basic without a dll that disables (intercepts) it at windows level. I would like to be corrected but I don't think I will be. Anyway the windows key can be useful ... sometimes. But does anyone remember when win95 first came out and then the windows keyboards came out and you were like playing doom or quake or something and you hit the windows key instead of fire at a critical moment and got chucked back to windows. That was really anoying! Most modern games disable the key in the game but reneable it when viewing a menu which is sensible.
