"Windows" key as part of a shortcut key

Question

I very often open a console window while doing my development. Usually Win+R -> cmd -> enter. However, Windows also lets you add a shortcut key to any shortcut ... but when I try to add Win + C to make the shortcut for my favorite-sized/shaped/buffered console appear, it uses Ctrl+Alt+C instead (already used in various editors and other apps...no go.)

Is there any way to use the windows key as part of a shortcut key combo?

(This would be with Windows XP)

Answer 1

You can use autohotkey for this sort of thing.

And while you are at it. Use console for a much improved command console experience.
