Yes, I think have with references to the documentation on ms site.
(But don't ask me where, it was quite a while ago.)

I must say I am surprised that it seems to work, at least sometimes.
It is not guaranteed to work, but it might work much more often than I
expect. However try this procedure:
emacs -Q
M-e: (w32-register-hot-key [M-tab])
f1-c M-tab
This starts the windows Alt-Tab application switching.
Now go back to the Emacs instance and try "f1-c M-tab" again. Now it works.
Something seems out of order here, but you are anyway right in that it
kind of works and probably is useful. But it is not guaranteed to
work.
