Usage, From the Microsoft Manual of Style (Second Ed.):

Microsoft Natural Keyboard key names
For conceptual topics and descriptions of programmable keys on the Microsoft
Natural Keyboard, use the name of the key followed by its icon in
parentheses at the first reference. For subsequent references, use the icon
alone if possible. Note, however, that inline graphics affect line spacing,
so using the name only may be preferable. The key name appears with an
initial cap only, not in all caps.

Correct
You can define the Application key ([see the image at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/archive/en-us/dx8_vb/directx_vb/images/appkey.gif]
) to open any program you want. Then press [see the image again:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/archive/en-us/dx8_vb/directx_vb/images/appkey.gif]
to open that program.
Then press the Application key to open that program.

Incorrect
Press the WINDOWS LOGO key.

Cheers ... Kim
