I tried Intes key changer using WinXP and it screwed my KB so i uninstalled it and
followed this procedure: http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/win2000/n1019911460
and Vexus is on the mark. It works flawlessly as he said - I wanted to change the
right Win key RWin to Caps Lock and also for the fun of it changed a couple of others
too. RCtrl to LCtrl and RAlt to LAlt. My lines look like this in scancode map:
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
03 00 00 00 3A 00 5C E0
38 00 38 E0 1D 00 1D E0
00 00 00 00
My thanks to the poster - this was simple with his explanation.

It's
