I do not remember very well any longer since I use the patched version
where this can not happen (if you tell Emacs to protect you from it).
However it could happen with any of those lwindow/rwindow combinations
that MS Window uses. I know I first noticed it with lwindow-e.
Though it might depend on other things too. The only thing I know is
that it is not guaranteed to work at all if you are not using the
patches I have in Emacs+EmacsW32. (I mean accordning to the specs from MS.)
If you want to know more then look at MS for LowLevelKeyboardProc.
That is why I have those patches. And by the way those part of the
patches does not change Emacs way of workin in any other way. They work
on a lower level that the rest of Emacs does not see.
If I remember correctly now there is however no guaranteed way at all to
stop Alt-Tab and Ctl-Alt-Delete from working.
