Ziggi, and I'm sure many others, was fuming over accidentally hitting his Windows key and interrupting his game. I used to have a couple of batch files set up to perform a registry hack that would turn off the Windows key, and turn it back on again. I was thinking I could create a single batch file that would disable the Windows key, start HLSW, and then re-enable the Windows key when HLSW shuts down.
No dice.
It seems that this type of registry hack only works if you reboot the system. Impractical for a quick toggle.
Sorry about that.
However, on the odd chance that anyone might be interested in the registry hack to turn on/off the Windows key, you can head on over to this website and download a couple of files and read up on how to use them.

Hope that helps, and I'm sorry there isn't a more elegant solution to temporarily toggled the key on or off. On the other hand, a new gaming keyboard with this feature already built-in shouldn't be horribly expensive. The Logitech G510 goes for about $70 on Amazon.com and features a switch to turn off the Windows key. I have the G15 which also has that feature, but I don't think that keyboard is still in production.
