Remap Caps Lock to Windows Key

My click-tastic Lexmark was built back in the olden days, before the Windows key existed. Thankfully, I have this useless Caps Lock key just begging to be pressed.

  1. Regedit HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout\
  2. Create a new REG_BINARY:

    Name: Scancode Map
    Value: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 5b e0 3a 00 00 00 00 00
  3. Reboot, enjoy.

    This seems like a terrible habit to pickup ! :)

    I bet there are still a few amputated windows keys sitting in my old desk at AMD. You should have them mail you a few. ;)
