Hi, For anyone who's not following this, SharpKeys has to installs. An executable which cannot be used in Windows 7, and the .zip which is really just the program inside the archive not requiring an install.
So if you have not tried this one on your 64-bit system, you might want to. I quickly tried this with 64-bit a while back, and it seemed to be alright.
