You can find more information about CLSID here and a hope quick Google search will help you a lot.

I don't think there is a way to simulate WIN key press using SendKeys. Anyway, you can open special locations using their CLSIDs:

// open "My Computer"
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("::{20d04fe0-3aea-1069-a2d8-08002b30309d}");

Some more CLSIDs (some might not work):
