I tried many of those utilities and none seemed to work. It drove me crazy when I got a newer model of my computer and they swapped where the ctrl alt and windows buttons are. So all my hot keys I had been using for years were in a different spot on the new machine. Instinct kicks in and the stupid windows key (whoch I never use) is right where the ctrl key is on the older machine.

Well, the AutoHotKey has always worked for me on Windows PCs.

Yes, I do not like the switch-a-roo either! There are programmable keyboards that allow you to electronically move keys from one position to another, but they are expensive.
