Hi, I am glad to hear that somebody successfully used SharpKeys with Windows 7. Was this the 64 bit version of Windows 7?
I did get the fusion key remapping feature to work so that is another way to go about this. I think the SharpKey solution is better if it can be made to work. I gather from your post, that SharpKeys can be run without being installed.
