Autohotkey should be able to do that without getting you back to your desktop. Ctrl combinations are more for programs and might conflict with those.

I'll be honest, I'm not entirely sure I can understand your post. When you say "ptt", are you referring to "Push-To-Talk"? And by "vent", do you mean "Ventrillo"? I only ask because not everybody here will know what the short-hand terms for those things are.

It sounds like you just want your Windows key to be the push-to-talk key. I thought Ventrillo could do this already. Is that not correct?

Also, if you just want to remap the right windows key to something like right control, I'd suggest SharpKeys (http://sharpkeys.codeplex.com). I use it on Windows to remap CapsLock to Control, it should do what you want.

Dyslexia
Dysgraphia – a disorder which expresses itself primarily through writing or typing, although in some cases it may also affect eye–hand coordination, direction- or sequence-oriented processes such as tying knots or carrying out a repetitive task. In dyslexia, dysgraphia is often multifactorial, due to impaired letter writing automaticity, finger motor sequencing challenges, organizational and elaborative difficulties, and impaired visual word form which makes it more difficult to retrieve the visual picture of words required for spelling. Dysgraphia is distinct from developmental coordination disorder in that developmental coordination disorder is simply related to motor sequence impairment.

It can, but apparently it still opens the start menu.

Edit: Dude, seriously try to write proper sentences.
