title: Pressing Win+X, Alt-Tab programmatically
body: <p>I'm trying to simulate the keypress events for Win+X on Windows 8 which should pop up a small menu, but I have been unable to get this to work by using SendInput. For any other combination of keys (e.g. Win+R, Win+E, Win+D) it works but not for Win+X. I've noticed that Synergy+ has the same problem, but the Windows on-screen keyboard doesn't. I have also looked at the parameters for SendInput that the on-screen keyboard uses but if I use exactly the same parameters in my application I still don't get the menu.</p>
  
  <p>So my question, how do I get this to work? Or is there an alternative way to display this menu?</p>
