How to gain back control of the F1 key.

Hi Tech_Man, Don't know much about Ctrl-Alt shortcuts,
but below is Win_XP_Keys.REG, used to regain control of the F1 key
by swapping it with the Num_- key on the far Upper_Right of the keyboard.

It also turns the Caps_Lock key into the Tab key,
freeing up the Tab key for a macro assignment.
The tilda key becomes the Delete key.
......... Win_XP_Keys.REG ................
