I attempted to use the application to swap the control and capslock keys in 
Windows 7 (64 bit). There was no affect on the keybindings, even after logging 
out and restarting the computer.

Ack, just discovered that Windows 7 doesn't support per-user keyboard mappings. 
So this isn't a bug per se, but perhaps could be mentioned in an FAQ or on the 
front page.

You are so right. I have updated the front page.

Is it officially  confirmed from MS that per-user keyboard mapping under 
Windows 7  isn't supported anymore? Maybe ist necessary to first activate the 
per-user mapping somewhere under HKLM.

Hi

Per-user mappings were never documented, they just started working in XP, 
continued through Vista, and stopped working in Windows 7. I haven't tried on 
Windows 8 yet!

I would avoid the above link, as it tries to install several pieces of adware. 
SharpKeys (http://www.randyrants.com/2011/12/sharpkeys_35.html) seems to be a 
lot more trustworthy, and also works for Windows 7. keymapper's interface is a 
lot nicer, though. :)
