NT4 profile specific keymapping

[caveman_nige]

Does anybody know how to make profile specific keymappings in NT4.. I have a bunch of data inputters who keep hitting keys around the 'return' key so I would like to disable them but make them available to the local or domain admins when they logon...

I do not have the option to upgrade their version of windows etc it has to be using NT4...

I am familiar with keytweak but this not not make profile specific changes only global chnages...

Thanks

the only thing that springs readily to mind is using custom hardware profiles, you should be able to load in a new driver for your inputers thats different from the standard 104key keyboard driver and have it load the usual driver for your admins.

Ive got no real experience ith this however but it should be fairly straightforward after a little research and playing around, the only problem i can see would be editing the drivers mappings.
I know this can be done though (hence DVORAK and custom keyboard layouts)

Quick search came up with below result , i am not sure if you can apply to user group or computer groups but have a look at it as it allows you to create custom keyboard layout which could be maybe applied thru domain policies.

Edit:
Just noticed this utility doesnt run on NT4 , sorry i ll keep on looking for a solution.

it seems the particular key that is causing most of the problems is the # key (known as key 42) on a UK keyboard.. I have apps that give me the 'make' scan codes for keys on a US or international keyboard but as you may know the UK keyboard has an extra key in this area... Oh and the keyboards are PS2 of course..

EDIT: have found the scan codes for this key.. but dunno how I can make it so that it is disabled in certain profiles

Anyway of forcing it through the registry for certain group of users by using group policy?
if you can save the registry changes in a .reg file force the file to load for dataentry group on load profile. (HKCU)
I assume that will make the necessary changes in registry, however problem will be what happens when they log off as the change will stay on that machine , perhaps another .reg file to revert the changes once the machine is rebooted.
Just an idea tough havent tried anything similar so please research more before trying anything with registry editing.

Edit:
Would this be usefull ? Logon , logoff scripts , 2 reg files , 1 makes the changes disables key , 2 runs on logoff script and reverts back changes,
