When I type M-x global-set-key RET, then press <lwindow>, the help
window pops up and show:
<rwindow> runs the command ignore, which is an interactive compiled
Lisp function in `subr.el'.
It is bound to <mouse-movement>, <language-change>, <lwindow>,
<rwindow>.
I have no chance to press <lwindow>-; to function. Type them in emacs
window just produce a ;.

Some keys and key combinations on ms windows can not be used in
(unpatched) Emacs because they must be caught on a lower level than
Emacs currently binds them.
If you want to bind these keys then you can try the patched version of
EmacsW32+Emacs, see EmacsWiki.

If you put 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)
then you will be able to use these bottom row keys as modifiers but you
still won't be able to bind a function to the bare key (lwindow for
example). You could however bind the function to Super- [a through z] or
even combinations of Ctl, Meta, Super, and Hyper:
(global-set-key [(super w)] 'foo)
As Lennart notes there are some combinations that Windows will trap at
the OS level but some of these are useful. Alt-tab will switch focus
between emacs and some other app from which you may want to copy-paste
for example.

There are more combinations than Alt-Tab that Windows will trap. For
example on my pc if I do
(global-set-key [(super ?e)]
(lambda() (interactive) (message "called super E")))
This does not work, lwindow+e will still show Windows Explorer.
That is correct according to MS documentation which says you can not
rely on rebinding lwindow/rwindow without a low level keyboard hook.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

True if you replace the first "sometimes" with "usually." Super (i.e.
windowskey) d, u, f, r (all unshifted) also don't work but the rest of
the combinations do. Alt-Tab can't be trapped but it's useful; Alt-F4 is
fatal. Ctl-Esc brings up start menu but most if not all other
combinations are open for Emacs use. In fact with the hyper key combos
(appkey) I got H-whatever undefined with all tested key combos.

Wow, it works, many thanks.

Good. Btw, I was wrong about M-f4 (alt-f4)which seems to unconditionally
kill the current process in Windows. In Emacs that doesn't happen. Both
C-F4 and M-F4 can be mapped to functions.
