Is it even possible to do it through system settings alone, even if obscure ones? I use AutoHotkey to do Caps Lock -> Ctrl remap, and it's one of the first programs I install on every new system.

My windows experience is as infrequent and as brief as I have been able to make it, but AFAIK editing registry keys + reboot is the only way to do it without third-party software.

Thanks for the AHK tip. The programs I usually find look like hastily-constructed malware on a dodgy sourceforge link & always make me feel real :-| about installing them on a fresh box.
