    Some time ago (maybe a year) I ran across a program that was used to remap windows keys or entirely disable them. I passed it over because I didn't really need it. Now I do and I can't find the name of it. I believe the program was first written in early 00's and then original developer entirely stopped development, although he did update it in 05-06 to fix a bug or whatnot. I don't remember anything else and I'm not sure that what I remember is right. I googled for it and found SharpKeys, but I'm not exactly sure that it's the right one. Anybody has any suggestions?

      I installed SharpKeys a few years back at the recommendation of people in the Lounge. I have not used it much so I am not sure how well it works. I believe the original reason I had for needing that is I had a keyboard with the Print Screen button where insert normally is and as a result nearly every time I wanted to hit shift-insert I got shift-printscreen which ended up throwing away what was in the clipboard. I have since replaced the keyboard so I do not need this remap.

        Not really the answer you want, maybe, but I use Directory Opus[^] as an alternative to Windows Explorer, mainly because I really like it's integrated FTP utility (but it's alos vary configurable in all sorts of ways) - but it also has a built-in keyboard-mapper... it's a neat piece of software all round...

            SharpKeys. It works in all windows os's (I'm using it now in Vista) and there's nothing else you need to know because after all it works and once it's set up you never think about it again. :)
