That is a whole bunch of how to's, Chris. :o)

Start here:

Disable the Windows Logo Key (Line 9)

Disable WinKeys (Line 78)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Keyboard Remap - Reassign functions to Keyboard Keys
http://www.microsoft.com/Windows95/downloads/contents/WUToys/W95KernelToy/De
fault.asp

Once you've downloaded and installed this utility, open the Control Panel,
double-click Keyboard and select the Remap tab. Under Right-Hand Side,
select the key you want to transform-such as Right Alt-in the left-hand box.
Then, in the right-hand box, select Windows. Click OK, and your Right Alt
key now functions as a Windows key.

Open the folder and double-click the downloaded file. This may create
several new files in your folder. Among these, look for "Read Me" or "INF"
files.
The "Read Me" file will contain any additional download information you need
to know. To install the file, right click the .INF file and click Install.

Note: There is a newer version out as well. Good luck!
