    Possible to swap positions and remap between the PAGE UP/PAGE DN and HOME/END keys?

    OK, one little annoyance, I don't know if I'm alone on this. I still sometimes find it more convenient to scroll pages using the PAGE UP/PAGE DN keys rather that using the mouse/track pad. But I'm finding that instead of hitting the proper keys, I'm pressing the DELETE key instead. You can only imagine what happens when I'm checking my e-mail in Outlook...

    I know I can physically swap out the keys themselves, but can I remap the keyboard afterwards to reflect the changed key positions?

    TKU!

    I heard SharpKeys work like a charm if you need some remapping. It only works with keys that aren't proprietary, which in your case the keys you want to remap are standard Windows used keys anyways.

    SharpKeys.
