how can I change the key-mapping?

[Hipshot 0]

when you select a folder or file in windows, and presses the F2 button, then you can change the name, but I want to use the SPACEbar to do that, hwo can I change, and would there be any problems or conflics if I change?

 

(When I select a file and presses SPACE nothing happens, so I thought I might just remap the key to the same as F2, just to make it easier for me)

Space actually selects files... If you open a folder and click on an empty space so that no file is selected, then hitting space will resect the last file that was selected.

ah, hmm, ok. But I dont use that hehe

 

Can I just switch the keys, so that select last file will be on f2 and rename on space?

No affiliation. Never used before. Don't ask for support or complain if your PC blows up!

Sorry, but this might be a stupid question, but where can I download the program, or is it included in xp pro already?

Not a stupid question at all. I actually thought there was a link on that site :x

 

It can be found in the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools

That's a pretty cool app!

 

I don't think you'll want to just switch Space and F2 though... it looks like this program will remap the keys across the entire operating system. I doubt you'll want to reach up to the F2 key every time you need a space in something you are typing!
