Check this out:

Keys Enumeration

You're looking for these key codes:

LWin    The left Windows logo key (Microsoft Natural Keyboard).
RWin    The right Windows logo key (Microsoft Natural Keyboard).

Sample code:

Public Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress

    If (e.Key = Key.LWin Or e.Key = Key.RWin) Then
        MsgBox("Pressed Windows Key")
    End If
End Sub
