Changing Function Keys

Changing function keys in Windows 7

Sometimes we may have a key on our keyboard that has stopped working. For example if my keyboard’s Enter key is not working and I need some other key (that I normally don’t use) to do the Enter-Key-Tasks. One way to do this is by going to windows 7 registry and change the default function of any key we want but that is not only difficult but also not recommended due to risk involving registry corruption. Here we present the step by step procedure for the same task but using a small free software that does it easily.
