Make windows button a windows key

[jonathanmedwards]

Does anyone know how to make the windows button operate like a normal windows key? I.e. pop up the taskbar? I uninstalled the Touch Launcher, but now single-pressing the windows button does nothing. Thx.

1. Download and install AutoHotkey
2. Create a new .txt document and rename it "winkey.ahk"
3. Edit the "winkey.ahk" in notepad and insert the following text

SC12D::::LWin

4. Save and exit
5. Doubleclick on the "winkey.ahk"

Now when you hit the S7 Winbutton the Startmenu should open as usual.

If you want this script to load at startup make a shortcut to the "winkey.ahk" and place it in the windows startup folder
usually located here:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
or
C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Good luck!
