Ctrl-ScrollLock-ScrollLock is very helpful when customer’s computer on the other side of the world is deadlocked. However, there is one drawback. Only right CTRL key can be used and most notebook doesn’t have this key at all. External keyboard solves it but once system is deadlocked, it can be too late to attach it. Incorrectly chosen hotkey, IMHO. Is there some way how to change it?

There is. I think there is a tool in the reskit, cdsetup.exe which will
allow to specify any key combo. If you want the nitty gritty, there are
a couple of reg values that i8042prt reads to set this up. One
specifies the modifier keys (alt, ctrl, shift … left or right for
each), the other specifies the scancode (not the ASCII!) to use. I can
look at the src and be more specific tomorrow.

Dump1Keys:
This describes which modifier keys to use. It is a bit field. Here are
the values:

This describes which key to use. This is an index into a table scan
codes (not ascii chars). I have included the tables here. The first
table is a table of scan codes. The second table uses the scan code
value as an index into the character it generates on a US keyboard
layout. So, use the 2nd table to find the key you want. Then find the
index value of that key in the first table.

Thanks, Doron. In the meantime I started examining i8042prt DDK sources and just found this part. I’ll try how it works.
From code it seems it is necessary to use at least one modifier so I can’t configure coworkers’ computers to crash on Enter key

Correct. It should not be possible to crash with normal keystroke w/out
a modifier key being held. The same rule as before applies to the key
… you have to hit it twice while holding down the modifier key(s).

Subject: RE: [ntdev] Forcing a System Crash from the Keyboard and
notebooksThere is. I think there is a tool in the reskit, cdsetup.exe which
will
allow to specify any key combo. If you want the nitty gritty, there
are
a couple of reg values that i8042prt reads to set this up. One
specifies the modifier keys (alt, ctrl, shift … left or right for
each), the other specifies the scancode (not the ASCII!) to use. I
can
look at the src and be more specific tomorrow.d

Subject: [ntdev] Forcing a System Crash from the Keyboard and
notebooksCtrl-ScrollLock-ScrollLock is very helpful when customer’s computer on
the other side of the world is deadlocked. However, there is one
drawback. Only right CTRL key can be used and most notebook doesn’t
have
this key at all. External keyboard solves it but once system is
deadlocked, it can be too late to attach it. Incorrectly chosen
hotkey,
IMHO. Is there some way how to change it?Best regards,
