AutoHotkey  by AutoHotkey
System Utilities → Keyboard Tools

Customize your keyboard, joystick, and mouse with an open source scripting language that is backward compatible with AutoIt v2. It includes a quick-start tutorial, an automatic script writer (macro recorder) that records your keystrokes and mouse clicks, and a comprehensive help file. The program can remap keys and buttons, and make virtually any key, joystick button, or mouse button into a hotkey (shortcut key)....

Be careful with this one. There is a comprehensive help file that comes with the program for a very good reason. THIS PROGRAM IS NOT USER FRIENDLY.

Somehow even a simple script (remapping numpad keys 1-9 to 1-9 upon load a certain program) resulted in a seriously mucked user profile (all personal settings reverted back to default settings with a new, incorrectly detected keyboard language).

Regarding the last post; having said that, this program was the ONLY one that successfully remapped the above keyboard settings "deep" enough in Win XP to allow for use even within current windows apps. All other remapping programs worked only in basic applications like notepad/word pad, when one went into a full screen (required) program the settings were lost.

To avoid any issues with system conflicts any script created should include a script termination upon application closing, so script settings do not linger upon windows exit.
