The only way to be sure is buy a kbd without the windows key:

Try going to control panel, keyboards, properties, key settings and changing it for something else, removing windows start from both left and right keys.

Get a Logitech G-15 usb keyboard. I have one. It has a switch on it that will disable the windows button for gaming. Sounds like the solution.

Yup, I"m running win 7 64 bit - tried it last night when I saw your post, and assigned a different value to the win keys to stop it dropping me out of the game

If you doubleclick on the win keys, a pop up comes up with the words, disable the win keys, Put a mark in that box, click on finish and jobs a good un.

wurzel, you might have different drivers for your keyboard, I for one, using the built in "HID Keyboard Device" drivers don't have that option anywhere in my keyboard settings.

Give this a shot:
