Keyboard Hacks

I came across a post where some bloke actually took off the physical key for CAPSLOCK, because he often hit it accidentally. But some posted this comment which is a registry hack to the CurrentControlSet to capture the keyscan.

My complaint on lots of laptops, is that the Windows key is off in some obscure, difficult to reach location. I know IBM, and presumably others have key re-mapping utilities, but I thought they ran continuously, which I don't like. If this can be specified in the registry that sounds good. I need to do some more research.
