Windows Logo Key Replacement

[Taras Pich]

What are the key strokes to simulate the Windows Logo Key?
My company laptop doesn't have it and I've grown quite dependent on it for
shortcuts.

TIA,

CTRL+ESC brings up the start menu, same as the windows key as itself. No
idea if it works for other shortcuts involving the winkey and another key.

No, CTRL+ESC+key doesn't work - and that's the functionality that I'm
looking for.

Is there another combination that can be used to lock a computer? I know I
can do the ALT+CTRL+DELETE & Lock but it was so much more convenient to hit
logo+L

I've been able to program the extra mouse buttons for other functions, but
the lock is the one thing I'd still like to overcome.

Thanks anyways
Taras
