re:Your Keyboard Mapping alternatives. Tuesday, September 16, 2008 at 8:44 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by geek9pm (766 messages posted) Good idea. Many users have a need to remap the keyboard for specific needs. In Europe, for example, there are many languages that use modified roman keyboard to represent letters of their alphabet. A Goole search shows may programs to alter the map. Be aware that some of these are very old and may not work in XP. And are not to be used in Vista. Often the reason for using any of these is just to reduce the annoyance of a few keys. One key many hate is the Caps Lock. Some prefer to just lock it out altogether! My I suggest that is overkill for just on or two keys that annoy you. There is a suitable hardware alternative and does not require any investment in more equipment. Yes, I know I am not supposed to talk about hardware on this forum. But this is so simple and can save you for possible bad third-party software. Furthermore, the hardware alternative does not need to be approved by Microsoft and does not have any virus or Trojan issues. Rather than going int a long lecture, allow me to just show you a picture of the "Caps Lock Key disable alternative using common available hardware resources."
