Rebinding keys in Windows XP

[Rex Eastbourne]

Does anyone know how to rebind keys in Windows XP? I'm a programmer who
uses Emacs, and to make my programming more efficient, I'd like to:

-Make my row of number keys insert their corresponding symbols --
!@#$%^&*() -- when pressed, and use the number pad at the side to
insert numbers instead.

-Get rid of my (useless) caps lock and Windows buttons, and make them
my Emacs "Hyper" and "Super" modifier keys.

From what I understand, Linux users have an .Xmodmap file that they can

use for this. I have been told that it's possible to remap keys on my
keyboard, but don't know how.

I'm using a Logitech USB keyboard/mouse, by the way.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Rex

Have you heard of 'Keytweak'? It might be just the ticket.

I'm forced to use Windows XP at work and I'm an emacs user. For me, I
only need to remap caps lock to be ctrl.

Anyhow, I use a freeware program called "trdkeys" that is from PC
Magazine. It's nothing more than a GUI that will modify some registry
settings but it works.

If you are a die-hard emacs user you might like to have emacs
key bindings in all of your windows apps. In that case you
should checkout XKeymacs:
