<h1>Attempt:</h1>

<p>That tutorial talked about making remapping keys at the machine level via: 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout</p>

<p>So I thought to myself what the hell I would just try the same thing under: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout</p>

<p>Unfortunately and somewhat expected it did not work:</p>

<pre><code>reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout" /v "Scancode Map" /t REG_BINARY /f /d 00000000000000000400000012005b005b00A200A200120000000000
</code></pre>

<p>^^^ This was supposed to switch: ^^^</p>

<ul>
<li><p>the recognized windows key to the control key</p></li>
<li><p>the recognized alt key to the windows key</p></li>
<li><p>the recognized control key to the alt key</p></li>
</ul>

<p>I even killed explorer.exe via power-shell:</p>

<pre><code>taskkill.exe -im explorer.exe /f | Out-Null; start explorer.exe
</code></pre>

<h1>Questions:</h1>

<ul>
<li><p>Is what I am trying to to even possible for a single user? </p></li>
<li><p>If it is how would I accomplish this without third party software?</p></li>
</ul>
