that's true.  the mistake in Vexus' post is that the code for Caps Lock, padded with 
00 gives 00 3A.  reversed, it should give 3A 00. 

in my case, my laptop's Enter key is dead.  i successfully mapped the pipe and backslash 
('|\') to the Caps Lock key, and then mapped Enter to the pipe and backslash key 
which is located just above the Enter.

here is the registry value (with spaces inserted for easy reading):

00000000 00000000 03000000 2B003A00 1C002B00 00000000

please note that the value is null terminated and thus the total count of mappings 
is 3, as the third word (or is it dword ?) indicates. this is in accordance with 
the 'Scan code Mapper for Windows' article that is linked from Vexus's original post.

in Linux, things are much easier and logical (with xmodmap).  and no rebooting required 
either !

comments welcome.
