LOLOLLOLOLOOLOOOL
Here's a great new baggy-pants style prank I've written.
All you need to do is catch an unsuspecting Windows user afk and run this sneaky little hack. Et voila! Every key has been mapped to 'L' or 'O'.
To remove, just navigate to the relevant section using regedit and delete the key manually - info is in the file.
EDIT: A one-click removal hack is here.
EDIT: Disclaimer: Be careful not to lock yourself/someone else out of the computer! Use at your own risk.
Happy LOLing! :D

How do you change it back? Sounds like an awesome hack... Might try it on my brother's PC while he's out :D

You just run regedit, navigate to the right section (the path is in the .reg file) and delete the key it's added called "Scancode Map".
The perfect crime ;-)

Sounds good!
To get past the login thing, couldn't you write some kind of script to insert the code and shove it under RunOnce in the Windows -> CurrentVersion section of the registry? Maybe?

No, once you've changed the keymapping you need to do a reboot to activate it. So the password prompt is always a nasty obstacle.
Fortunately, I know Kate's password >:-D
I'll look into more usable alternatives, though...

Nice! Though I prefer the subtler ones, like changing their keymap as though they have an AZERTY or QWERTZ keyboard. Much less obvious :-D
