Windows button on windows tablet in custom shell

Question

I am developing a custom shell for a windows 8 tablet. I would like to intercept the tablets windows button press event. I am not sure how to do so. I am currently working in c#, but would be willing to consider any possible solutions. I have tried autohotkey, but the tablet button must not be the same as the keyboard windows key. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I vaguely remember reading that Windows 8 requires running with admin rights. Could you try that?
