dont think so, but i maybe wrong. MS get this sequence (already in use previously) and make it impossible (as far i know) to be hooked by any program. So you can hook on keyboard, but you cant get that sequence, even with a system driver. Im looking for an old documentation, but apparently its done on 1st level int handler and it cannot be overrided by any other program. Im trying to dig that paper....
