The "Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator" can be used to make your own Keyboard Layout. This is especially useful for those languages (for example; Bengali) that do not have any Standard Keyboard Layout.


How to make your own Keyboard Layout
There is no Standard Keyboard Layout for Bengali! So, Bengali translators have to memorize different keyboard layouts when they want to change the Bengali writing software. May be some other languages also don't have any Standard Keyboard Layout. And sometimes we want to use a symbol frequently that is not so easy to introduce. All these problems could be easily solved if we can create our own Keyboard Layout. Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator is a freeware that you can use to make your own Keyboard Layout and you can set this Keyboard Layout as your System Default Keyboard. If you are interested to get this freeware, please go to:
