Disable Capslock using Regwrite - (Moved)

[Elrond5]

So I want to remap Capslock to Ctrl using Autoit

;3A00 = Caps
;1D00 = Ctrl

RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout","Scancode Map","REG_BINARY","000000000000000002000000E0473A0000000000")

However it isn't doing anything. And I have no idea why my code doesn't work.

try :

Local $res = RegWrite("HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout", "Scancode Map", "REG_BINARY", _
         "0x0000000000000000020000001D003A0000000000")

Thanks I got it working, also I found out I had to do #RequireAdmin
