Now, SharpKeys comes and may help us. It can remap one key to another key by storing the mapping to the registry.
SharpKeys is actually a portable application writtien in C# using .NET 2.0. So, you need to install Microsoft .NET 2.0 and above before you can enjoy this utilities.
So, how does SharpKeys help us in terms of a keyboard keys replacement tool? Simple launch the application, and click “Add” to add a key mapping entry. Then, choose which key you are going to map with, and press “Write To Registry” once you done everything. You may need to log off or reboot your PC so that the key mapping take effect.
Let’s summarize what SharpKeys can do for you and what SharpKeys cannot do:
SharpKeys will
- Remap one key to a single key. For example, remap “Shift” to “Caps Lock”.
- Remap multiple keys to a single key. For example, remap all keys to “A”.

Capture.net is an application which contains a lot of useful utilities, such as advanced desktop calender which include alarm, screen capture, post-it notes, and much more.
This small application contains a lot of desktop utilities which we may need everyday. As you can see, the three most obvious features is clock, calender, and ruler. You can adjust the ruler length by changing the scrollbar position.Beside this, you can create notes with it and set the alarm for the notes.
You can found a list of utilities beside the clock. These utilities are Screen Capture, Color Picker, Privacy Eraser (which can clean your browser history and cookies), Windows Spy (which can reveal any hashed password, but it doesn’t work at my computer), Font Viewer, CHM2HTML Converter, and Degree. Another utility which doesn’t appear in the list (you can access it through the context menu) is Tweaker, which can modify some windows settings.
This application is created using Microsoft .NET framework. So, you need to install it before run this application. There are much more interesting stuffs that this application provide, such as the opacity effect and the docking effect. I am not going to introduce them one by one. I suggest that you download the application and play with it.
