However, a new keyboard layout can be created using [[go>Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator]]. This is designed for creating foreign language layouts, and so doesn't permit you to move "special" keys like control and caps lock around. But it has the benefit that it can change the layout for just one user of the system, and can be swapped easily in the same way that you would swap between standard layouts for different languages. The Creator seems to hang for a while on Windows 7, but does actually work fine if you have a lot of patience, and will compile (separate bits of) code good for 64 bit as well as 32 bit systems.
