Productivity Tool of the Week: SharpKeys remaps your keys

Vasanth finds a solution to one of my biggest complaints with my M200. I absolutely despise the location of the Windows key, and even the tilda is in awkward place. I'll probably just swap those two.

I was googling for possible solutions like remapping the Alt key in my Tecra M4 to the Windows key. I found SharpKeys. It is a nice app which lets you map any key to another one. The application changes the registry to enable this mapping. This means I need not have it running all the time. There is also no delay because of this.

 I wonder if this also works in Vista. I'll give it a shot when I get home tonight.

The Scancode Map key that SharpKeys edits has been in the NT-family for Windows 2000, XP, and 2003 (although it's in a different location for Server). I'd be shocked if they removed it in Vista... I'm wondering if they'll even expose it a bit more :)
