I have a note about Customize
Your Keyboard Mapping:
Windows 2000 and Windows XP use a new scancode translation function, and the old
Win95 Kernel Toys keyboard remap, although it will install in Win2K and WinXP, does
absolutely nothing.
As posted here in other messages, there is a way to edit your registry to remap the
Control, Alt and CapsLock keys. It is a bit complicated. I wanted to remap my keyboard
so that the Control was next to the A key, the Alt was at the bottom left, and the
CapsLock was next to the space bar. I edited my registry to do this in XP, and have
saved the results in a .reg file that is posted on my personal website at http://www.pitt.edu/~kconover/,
and in particular on the keithbet.htm page. Even if you want to do something slightly
different, you can use a text editor to look at this .reg file to see how it is done
-- and if you want to do just what I've done, simply import the registry key into
your own XP registry.
Hope this is of interest.
