The header says most of it. I'm trying to find a way to disable the windows key either through GPO, local policy, or an edit in registry, but Google has been less than helpful.

Open regedit. On the Windows menu, click HKEY_LOCAL_ MACHINE on Local Machine. Double-click the SystemCurrentControlSetControl folder, and then click the Keyboard Layout folder. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, type in Scancode Map, click REG_BINARY as the Data Type, and then click OK. Type 00000000000000000300000000005BE000005CE000000000 in the Data field, and then click OK. Close Registry Editor and restart the computer.

- On the Windows menu, click HKEY_LOCAL_ MACHINE on Local Machine.
Double-click the SystemCurrentControlSetControl folder, and then click the Keyboard Layout folder.
On the Edit menu, click Add Value, type in Scancode Map, click REG_BINARY as The Data Type, and then click OK.
Type 00000000000000000300000000005BE000005CE000000000 in the Data field, and then click OK.

Option 2: AutoHotKey
Download AutoHotKey from http://www.autohotkey.com/
Run it, then right click on its icon in the taskbar.Select 'Edit This Script' and it'll open the default script in Notepad
Somewhere between the comments (which are marked with semi-colons) add the following:

Like CJ1992 says (I could not comment unfortunately hence new post), but the AutoHotkey syntax now seems to be (it might be that I use 1.1.30.00 - August 22, 2018 version):
LWin::return
RWin::return
