Map Delete Key to Page Dn Key & Vice Versa

My Dell laptop (Win XP Pro) has the delete key 3 keys in from the left on the second
row. It's very inconvenient there, esp. for such an important key.
The Pg Dn key is on the same row, but all the way to the right. I would like to
map the Delete key to the Pg Dn key, and the Pg Dn key to the Delete key.
I tried the caps lock disable and it works great!!! Any help is appreciated. Please
e-mail me directly.
Thank you,
Zen
