Is there a way to remap or swap my Fn and Ctrl keys? I'm used to my Dell 700m's keyboard which has the Ctrl key on the far left.

Use sharpkeys.

Won't work for Fn.

Apparently no can do.

Really ?

Just tried and sharpkey detects the fn keys just fine.

But try to swap it so that Ctrl behaves like Fn and Fn behaves like Ctrl, and you'll have partial success at best. Many of the Fn-key combinations are detected on the hardware level and have nothing to do with the Windows registry, which is affected by SharpKeys and similar programs.
