How do I press the Windows key from a Mac running a Citrix session on a Windows host?

For example, I wish to perform Windows+E to open the Windows file explorer in the Windows environment running over Citrix from my Mac. The Citrix-Online-Plugin-for-Macintosh-Administrators-Guide [1] talks about other special keys but says nothing about the Windows key. I was somewhat surprised that google searches didn't readily identify any discussion about this topic. Perhaps I just don't have the right keywords?

Did you try pressing Command-E? When I'm using a virtual machine on my Mac, it interprets the Command key as a Windows key. Similarly, when I boot into Windows using Bootcamp, pressing Command works as a Windows key. – daviewales – 2012-12-07T02:35:36.040

Specifically, the right-hand Command key works for me. The left-hand one seems to simply emulate the Ctrl key.

According to this Citrix help document you would simply press Command-E.
