    Apple Pro Keyboard driver for Windows XP?

    Hi all,

    Well I managed to get a black Apple Pro keyboard from ebay as was suggested to me in my other thread about them, now have a different question so have started a new thread. Admins, if that was naughty then punish me accordingly

    I wondered where I can get some sort of utility (or driver) which will let me remap the Apple-specific keys to other things on XP? I found AppleKPro off a Google search but that was the only one I could find. It's pay-ware and since it's a driver I'm not keen on attempting to install it on XP x64 edition just in case.

    Is there a free tool (or driver for x64 windows) that will work for me? I did search here as well but no joy...

    TIA
    8bit

    EDIT: I've just found and tried Applekeys, it seems to work but doesn't appear to allow manually setting which keys do what...

    I use Apple keys. Have been for around 1 year without any issues really.

    you should be able to re-map keys with the registry. Its all covered in the windows DDK, but google should bring up info on keymapping too.
