SharpKeys is a Registry hack that is used to make certain keys on a keyboard act like other keys. All you have to do is launch it and then simply select from a list or press the button to replace a key. You can indicate the function on the same and it is quiet easy to use. Remember that the software will be responsible for making changes in the registry. So there can be more issue and it wont be able to restore the old registry settings back again.

SharpKeys registry is a hack that is used to make certain keys on a keyboard act like other keys. After booting, click on Add and select the From List button to change, eg the one with the symbol of the book. Then choose from the list the new key to use, eg the one with the @ sign. It works perfectly anyway. When you're ready, click Write to registry and restart the PC. You can easily cancel all changes through the window Main SharpKeys.
