Trying to remap middle-mouse to Windows key

I'd like to map the Windows key to my middle mouse button on my Logitech mouse, to swap in and out of the metro interface. You can assign keys to any of the mouse buttons in the Logitech software but I cannot get the Windows key to remap because when you click in the box and press it, it takes me into Metro like it's supposed to. Anyone have any ideas?

In SetPoint, set the function of the button to be Other / Start Menu. That appears to have the same effect as pressing the Windows key.

The best way I found was to set it as a macro. You can insert the windows button if you check under "Insert Special Keys" I did it with the microsoft mouse and keyboard center
