"Macros" are a concept in software, not a keyboard. All the keyboard does is send a small code that says which key was pressed. It's up to your software to know what to do with that keypress, if anything.

So, if the software you're running (I'm assuming here!) on Windows XP exposes some kind of macro functionality, what you do depends on the environment exposed by that software to the macro code.

Now, if the software doesn't expose anything, then you'll have to write your own application that starts a global keyboard hook, looks for that one key, and either creates a window that covers the entire screen, or locks the Windows XP workstation. In the case of covering the screen with a blank window, you'll also have to have the hook code listen for another keypress and destroy that window when needed.
