Using something like osk.exe (On Screen Keyboard) isn't
really a pleasant answer. And re-mapping has the problem
of preventing something else from using the function later.
Although I don't remember Scroll Lock doing anything useful,
there might be situations where the LED is lit, you want to
turn it off, and because you remapped Scroll Lock, now
you cannot use it. A piece of tape over the LED will
take care of that :-)

I have a couple of KVM switches and both can be controlled by the keyboard.

ScrollLock - ScrollLock - #

where # is 1 or 2 to select the device.

Also, I once had a DOS screen buffer program that used Scroll Lock to
access the buffer.
