Thanks to everyone here.. I was able to defeat the Toshiba engineers and now I love
my Satellite.. ( I hated the placement of the home key where a delete key should
have been. ) anyways,
go to:
http://www.passmark.com/download/index.htm
they have a keyboard testing utility that will allow you to find the scancodes for
any keys.
Also found at utility software for trading keys from PC magazine at:
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,771064,00.asp
It worked quickly to swap the home and delete keys. ( I got the first utility because
I thought I was going to have to do it in the registry)
Anyways, this works quickly.
