Will setting up Joytokey screw up PC games?

Okay, so I'm pessimistic about figuring out my last issue.  I started a new topic about the fact that my X360 controller no longer works to navigate Hyperspin after I got a new computer.  Seems that people generally believe that you can't set up controllers with Hyper HQ and Windows 10.  That doesn't explain why I'm able to do it on my old computer (which is running Windows 10), but c'est la vie.

I'm going to try to set up Joytokey using Spawk's instructions in the tutorial.  Before I start, though, I want to make sure of something.  If I do this, will the joytokey settings only work in the Hyperspin menu?  I don't want the joytokey to be active in my emulators or in my PC games - if, for example, I assign a button on my controller to ESC, I don't want that button to act as an ESC button for my other applications.

Does anyone have an easier way to do this?  Again, I only want the joystick to keyboard mapping to work in the Hyperspin menu.

Thanks!

I'll do that!  Thanks very much!
