The following keyboard shortcut will always bring up a window that says Searching "This Mac":

Option+Command+Space

I would like to use this shortcut for another purpose. Is there any way to disable this shortcut?

Yes. Go to System Preferences → Spotlight and uncheck the box for the Spotlight window keyboard shortcut. Alternatively, replace the shortcut with a different shortcut.

You can also enable/disable/modify the shortcut through System Preferences → Keyboard → Spotlight → Show Spotlight Window:

    you're right! I think the main problem is I didn't realize that "Search My Mac" window had anything to do with "Spotlight". :)
