There are older keyboards around that work in the newer computers and have
the Control key where the Control key should be.  I have the same problem.

I've heard of such a utility of UN*X, but not for Win2K.

What you need is a keymap editor.  Then you can change this to your 
heart's content.  I'm sure one exists for Windows but I wouldn't know 
where to look.

My laptop came with a utility that swaps the Caps Lock and Ctrl key 
assignments.  (The key caps are the same size, conveniently.)

Such utilities used to be fairly readily available in DOS/Win3 days.  I
question whether any of those would work with W2k, but a web search might be
worth trying.

Probably not, but every Windows since Windows 95 has had a scheme for 
switching between various keymaps.  All you really need is a way to 
create a keymap file with the mapping you want, then you can load it 
from the Keyboard control panel.

The tricky thing under Windows 95/98 was there was actually *two* 
keymaps.  One for Windows, one for DOS.  If you loaded a keymap in 
Windows to, say, make your keyboard a Dvorak layout, you'd find it 
still had the standard layout inside DOS windows unless you loaded a 
different DOS keymap as well!  I'm guessing that Win2K won't have this 
problem since the DOS/Windows dividing line has been erased.
