Hotkey ?'s Windows Overwrite

[XerxesTheMighty]

Is there anyway to overwrite the default windows shorcuts in c++? I.E. win key + E is explorer.
Then do a hotkey in prog that is win key + E and assign it something else.
Can this be done in c++? Or is it some sort of reg hack (still can be done in c++, though a little more code)? Is this possible? Because I read in several locations that C++ has the most power over the system, accessing it, etc.

Would anyone like to expound on its usage? MSDN is useless and I found no other resources that even mentions it. Sorry for the ignorosity.

No it ain't. It makes no sense and there are no examples. I just can't grasp hooks (ha) with a bunch of jibberish nonsense that makes no sense. I tried to write a program doing just what msdn says, and it don't work. Every time I try to figure out something from msdn it never works.

What I really mean to say is: How does this integrate with hotkeys? I mean after do all that stuff, how do define it for a registered hotkey?
