In x32Win10ProV22H2, I would like more keys available to put 'proprietory' links on (using Autohotkey). When I tried the method shown in
How to Disable Specific Windows Key Shortcut in Windows | Password Recovery to free up keys-for-windows-shortcuts, there were keys for which that did not work.

Is there a more reliable method ? Other methods do not distinguish between using the left and the right WIN key, and most aim to kill ALL combinations - something I specifically do NOT want to do.
