This answer doesn't actually help anyone who isn't allowed to install third party software on the current computer (like me). If I was allowed to use this program to find out scancodes, I might as well just use the program to remap keys.

While that is a frustrating situation to not be able to install programs, it is admittedly also odd if you have admin access, but can't install programs. Because the programs above do write to the registry key at "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout" with a binary value named "Scancode Map". If you intend to do this as a "set and forget" thing, you could use Sharpkeys on a different system, and then export the registry key in question. Then you can import it on a different system (granted that things such as the keyboard layout are the same)

The other alternative is that you can check out the source code of Sharpkeys, which has the relevant scan codes written inside this class file here: github.com/randyrants/sharpkeys/blob/master/SharpKeys/… Search for "Special: Left Windows" inside that code.
