Right click on the new entry you just created, select the Modify entry and you'll see a window with a Value name field and a large textarea (named Value data:) with the value 0000 in it. Click on the 0000 and a text prompt will appear in the text area. Then type the following values in this area: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 At this point, a new row will be created with the label 0008 Now type these values: 03 00 00 00 1d 00 3a 00 and a new row will appear with the label 0010 type these values into this row 3a 00 1d 00 00 00 00 00 A new row will appear with the label 0018...ignore it. Now review the text area and ensure it looks like this: 0000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0008 03 00 00 00 1d 00 3a 00 0010 3a 00 1d 00 00 00 00 00 0018 Press the ok key, and VOILA! you have modified the scancode for your system. Close the registry and reboot your machine, and your CapsLock and Ctrl key should now be swapped. ------------------------------------------------------------ Chris McMahan cmcmahan@teknowledge.com Barry Roberts writes: > If you wouldn't mind exporting your "Scancode Map" setting, I would like to try it on my machine to make sure that my SP level isn't what is giving me grief. > > This value did not exist in my registry, is that correct? > > TIA, > Barry Roberts > > >>> Chris McMahan 07/29 4:22 PM >>> > Let me know what problems you're having getting the registry settings to work, > and I'll be happy to help any way I can... > > > Chris McMahan > cmcmahan@teknowledge.com > > ! ! > >
