Been there, done that, it's not as low level as you think.

It remaps for applications just fine, but as soon as I fire up a game,  
it's a wierd combination of default and remapping.

I believe the regedit hack changes a code mapping in a Windows system  
call, not the low level keyboard intercept, at least that's how it  
behaves on my WinXP machine.
