I hate the CAPS LOCK!!

CAPS LOCK is a key that once was useful, but most people now find it an annoyance. If you accidentally press it you will end up with things like:

hELLO HOW ARE YOU?

and if you are talking to another person  online you will be accused of "shouting"!!

You can disable the caps lock key as follows (warning - this is messing with the registry and if you do it wrong it might break things!!):

1. Start the registry editor by typing "regedit" in the Run box.
2. Navigate to  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout
3. Set the value of "Scancode Map" to
00000000 00000000 02000000 00003A00 00000000
4. Reboot your computer.

The CAPS LOCK key will now do nothing. To reverse this, set the number to 0.
