Windows key shows task bar rather than opening start menu

This
one would be really useful to me because I have my taskbar on the
left-hand side of my middle monitor. If I have my taskbar set to
autohide then it's a pain to actually use because it's really easy
to move too far left and end up on my left monitor rather than
bringing up the taskbar and hitting the winkey brings up the start
menu itself which 9/10 times I'm not going for.
