I have been able to successfully use the Sharpkeys program http://www.randyrants.com/sharpkeys/ to remap Left windows (E0_5B) to Left Alt (00_38) Right windows (E0_5C) to Right Alt (E0_38) Works like a peach! Is there something else I can do to remap the windows keys to meta keys instead? Cheers, Uday
