Hello jbum112,
To restore the keyboard, run regedit.exe and delete the 'Scancode Map' entry from HKEY_CURRENT_USER (and log off/on), or from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (and reboot), depending on which section of the registry you changed.

How to Set the Keyboard Layout through Group Policy (GPO) First we create an.ADM template for Group Policy. Here is example for setting the Keyboard Layout with two Languages, English and Farsi (you can add more Languages).

Map CapsLock to LeftCtrl (press CapsLock to generate LeftCtrl):
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERKeyboard Layout]
'Scancode Map'=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,1d,00,3a,00,00,00,00,00

'Scancode Map'=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,3a,00,1d,00,1d,00,3a,00,00,00,00,00
