[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1587406, member: 38928"] Most of these utils rely on a registry hack. One of the problems with this is that it all comes apart if you try and switch the functions of two keys as when windows comes to execute the second change it finds it impossible. e.g. A->B this works OK leaving both the A and B keys working as an A key B->A There is no B key anymore - fail I'd suggest using Sharpkeys. I works fine with Windows 8. To start with map the CTRL function to the CMD key but not vice versa. Once you have that working, if you still need a 'Windows' key I'd look for another key you don't use to allocate that function [/QUOTE]
