Hi,

Thats not possible. The Win+E shortcut is hard-coded.

Thread revival! For googlers' sakes.

You can change it. Any number of hotkey programs can "hijack" that key combo (or any other) and make it do your bidding.
I recommend AutoHotkey. It's robust, lightweight, well-supported, and not hard to learn.
