How can I change what runs when you press Win+E

[perlabsrat]

I have been searching here and on the web for a way to change the default action of pressing WIN+E. most "solutions" refer to using AutoHotkey and a slew of reg hacks that dont seem to work.

Without using any 3rd party utilities does anyone know of a way to run say calc.exe when the user presses Win+E under win7 ?

Thanks.

Does it have to be Win+E (Open Explorer) ? or can you make a new key combination?

Yes that is the goal here. There are plenty of macro applications but I am looking for a way to simply replace this key stroke with another app.

Thanks.
