Solution 1:
========
1)System->Preferences->Keyboard->Layout->Other options
Alt/Win key behaviour: Select "Meta is mapped to the Win-keys"

2)System->Preferences->Keyboard shortcuts
Select "Home folder" and press the desired key combination.

It should show "Mod4+E" for win+E for example.

Solution 2:
========
1)Run "gconf-editor"

2)Navigate to "/apps/metacity/global_keybindings"
Change the value of "run_command_1" to "<Super>E"

3)Navigate to "/apps/metacity/keybinding_commands"
Change the value of "command_1" to "nautilus"

(This will only work if Alt/Win key behaviour is set to "Default" or
"Super is mapped to Win-keys". See solution 1 and adapt as necessary.)

Solution 3 (Same as previous by command-line):
====================================
gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/run_command_1 
'<Super>E'
gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands/command_1 
'nautilus'

P.S: I incidentally just discovered another gconf entry of interest while 
searching for the command-line syntax:
/apps/panel/global/menu_key

Very interesting. :)
