Hello.
I have the same problem with ThinkPad
I need LCtrl to be Windows key, and
Fn to be a LCtrl.
Ctrl key is easy reassignable in registry.
Problem comes up when I try to remap a Fn key.
Anybody, help if you can please.

shivraj,

I created a small application to enable/disable the Windows keys and Application keys (written in C#) if that is all you need to do:
