T40 Thinkpad, no Windows key. Is there a way to remap another key to function as windows key?

Got myself a nice T40 Thinkpad as a retro gaming rig

but I was surprised it had no Windows key.
Is there a program to have another key function as windows key, or maybe in conjunction with the "Fn" key?

Preferably working on both Windows 98 SE and XP but just XP is fine.

For those who care, afaik the Thinkpad T42 is the last thinkpad that has proper Windows 98 SE support.

You can try using Auto Hotkey to set up keys to function as a Windows and FN Key.

SharpKeys works on XP but not 98 according to the site and it looks like old versions of AutoHotkey support all the way back to Windows 9x.
