Keyboard Key remapping in W7?

I remap Ctrl an Caps Lock on the keyboard of every system I control.

I've been using a utility distributed by PC Magazine in Windows NT4
days and it's worked for me right up to XP. Before I try it in W7, I'm
asking if there are other ways to do it.

Thanks. It doesn't says Windows 7. I know that 7 and Vista share much
but I just got my forst W7 machine today and I don't know what Vista
hacks should work and what won't.

Well, when I read the bit on the page that said "Map Any Key to Any Key on
Windows 7 / XP / Vista" I kind of figured that they meant it. Guess YMMV.

PC Mag had a free utility that does that. TradeKeys

That's about 10 years old and I've been using on all machines NT4-XP
but I figured I'd look for something new.
