Hi! I really must add that this program is not very good. Except for the hideous GUI, it also has remarkably stupid limitations concerning dead keys (you have to map them to output characters from other keys, not to the keys themselves!). This made my furious when trying to make a decent Dvorak-Hiragana (Japanese) keylayout a few months ago. Unfortunately I have found no good replacement, even though AutoHotKey goes a long way.

You can get it at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=fb7b3dcd-d4c1- 4943-9c74-d8df57ef19d7&displaylang=en&Hash=AGJUxsaqWxIQobT0nerwct40M%2f nVV1OYqolgHshQpqjzKXPl3hSj3xQASNxpt9ZI5QdH5P6ZMbiKrSMKiSGB5g%3d%3d Myself, I just went with the internal Control Panel/Regional and Language Options (bought stickers for the keys, too). I had found the OS switching back to Standard US, so I deleted the US. When a friend comes over and needs his/her Qwerty back; I add the US, delete the DVORAK and reboot. I have found this is the only way to keep the OS from switching during various program usages.
