Disabling shift-Windows key in Windows 7
Windows 7 set those Windows+Shift keys for moving windows to the other screens:
(Win)+Shift+→ (Right Arrow)
or (Win)+Shift+← (Left Arrow)
moves the window to the other side of the dual monitor setup.
How can I disable this? It conflicts with Emacs/org mode's keys, and I find it annoying.

Oh, that's nice to know actually, thanks. Sorry I can't help at all with turning it off though.

It may be part of the video card driver - Intel cards have the most annoying ability to flip the display upside down just by accidentally pressing control and downarrow.

Just a small note that 3rd party applications should not rely on Windows logo key. Complain at Emacs/org to get an alternative in Emacs. This way you will also help other Emacs users.

You can use AutoHotkey to change keybindings (and much more), so that the shortcuts you mention have no effect.
The AutoHotkey script in order to disable the mentioned shortcuts would be something like:
#+Left::Return
#+Right::Return
# Stands for the (Win)+ Stands for ShiftLeft/Right stands for the ← (Left Arrow), → (Right Arrow), respectively.
You just have to install AutoHotkey, create *.ahk (plain text) file with the script above and add it to your Startup folder.
