global "Windows-wide" shortcut keys

Is there an easy way from .NET to register a Windows-wide keyboard
shortcut? I would like to bring up a WinForm window from an already
running .NET application whenever this keyboard shortcut is used.
I assume the way to do this is calling the Windows API from .NET.

Anyone have an experience with this? or can you point me in the right
direction?

Thanks in advance,
Kelly Greer

AFAIK it's the only way.

Have you searched codeproject.com? I'm sure I've seen tons of examples
of this there.

Thanks,
