You also need this in your .emacs:

(setq w32-pass-lwindow-to-system nil
       w32-pass-rwindow-to-system nil
       w32-pass-apps-to-system    nil
       w32-lwindow-modifier       'super   ;; Left Windows
       w32-rwindow-modifier       'super   ;; Right Windows
       w32-apps-modifier          'hyper)  ;; App-Menu (key to right of 
Right Windows)

I discovered that I don't use hyper for anything. But I *could*. Btw, 
even with this setup, a lot of mswin key combos leak through, making 
them unavailable to Emacs, but if you look at them a little cross-eyed 
they can be seen as features rather than bugs. E.g. repeated Alt-tab 
cycles through loaded windows apps whether you want to or not.
