Switch Right Windows and Right Alt Key

I've just bought a Apple Keyboard (USB) and wanted to switch the key mapping of the right windows and right alt key..

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,5c,e0,38,e0,38,e0,5c,e0,\
  00,00,00,00

To swap both the left and the right Windows and Alt Key use:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,07,00,00,00,37,e0,64,00,5b,e0,38,00,\
  38,00,5b,e0,5c,e0,38,e0,38,e0,5c,e0,47,e0,63,e0,00,00,00,00

Reboot or log off afterwards.

Hey man, lovely tip, I've managed to find your site through a google search. I have a MBP and am working within the Windows environment (shoot me, UT3 not out for Macs... yet). Make the story short, I work in Maya, and the Alt key is your favorite there as you use it for viewport navigation (hold then use mouse). I keep pressing Apple's command key (which on PC keyboards is actually Alt) and it's getting rather annoying, now I am slowly getting used to moving my thumb over to the left, but that is uncomfortable for me, can you help out?
