Keyboard Scancodes
Windows 2000 and XP offer the possibility to change keys via the registry. The key for this are the keyboard scancodes which identify each key functionality. Here, only the make code is given for the scancode, the break codes are irrelevant for the registry setting.

To reallocate single keys by their scancodes, the new
binary value „Scancode Map“ has to be entered in the
registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard
Layout
This value contains the data string that contains the information fort he keys
you want to reallocate. For example, to change the left Windows Key to the key ScrlLk, and ScrlLk to the Windows
Keys, set this string to “Scancode Map”:
0000000000000000040000005BE0460046005CE046005BE000000000
The string format ought to be read like this:
|
00 00 00 00 |
Header information |
|
00 00 00 00 |
Flags |
|
04 00 00 00 |
No. of definitions
(inclusive Null Terminator) |
|
5B E0 46 00 |
First
Definition: Left Windows Key to ScrlLk Key |
|
46 00 5C E0 |
Second
Definition: ScrlLk Key to left Windows Key |
|
46 00 5B E0 |
Third
Definition: ScrlLk Key to right Windows Key |
|
00 00 00 00 |
Null Terminator |
Remember to count the terminating Null Terminator in the number of definitions.
The scancodes are set in the registry in Little Endian Format. Little Endian
(Little End First) means, the lower end of the value comes first. The scancode of the left Windows Key „E05B“
gets therefore „5BE0“.
