Thank you so much for the solution to my problem of how to disable the CAPS LOCK KEY, i changed it to a shift key instead, since that is where it really bothers me the most.

THANK YOU

I agreed with Kevin Rice comments, capslock key should be in place where is at.If anybody doesn’t like it, pop it out, dissable it, glue it to the Kbd, or change it for another key. I’m not an IT Wiz but I know how to take care of my PC. I have a Vista Premium Compaq laptop and my capslock key light indicator went off forever, but the key still working.
Is there any trick [reg., software]that will pop up a wording as “Caps On” or “Caps off” as Logitech Kbd’s do!! I admired Billy Mays, but I really don’t want his face poping out if I use his software.
Thanks in advance,
Catmusiu

I’ve used this trick on my copy of Windows 7 Ultimate, and it does not work.

Could you give me the registry path for this trick?

Pity that I let your unfriendly and useless comment slip through – normally I would have deleted it on sight.

We went back and verified all the old tips that still work in Windows 7, and updated them, which you would know if you took 5 seconds to think before leaving a comment.

Tom, Tom. I expect it was initially a Vista hack that was updated to include 7. I’ve downloaded it from here, and it didn’t do anything to my computer other than advertised.

My question is, where’s the donate button?

@Tom Hall
Well this apparently work for the other systems so in my commonsense judgement tells me that this was added for those systems and then the maker just came back and added Win 7 to it.

@Sergio
You are right there is 2 0’s after the 2 that need to be earased or it wont work.IDK bout XP/Vista but it doesn’t in 7

I find it just a bit strange that you claim that this article was written on 08/04/07 for Windows 7 (I quote your words: This article was written on 08/4/07 and tagged with: Disabling Features and Annoyances, Vista Tips & Tweaks, Windows 7, Windows Vista)
Was Windows 7 really available 2 1/2 years ago?
anolalies like this make one very suspicious of its authenticity. Is there an explanation?

Was looking for something just like this! I hit the Caps Lock key by accident quite frequently, and don’t know if I’ve ever used it on purpose in the last 10 years. So, I used the script you provided that moved it to Scroll Lock. Works wonderfully!

Thanks so much for putting his out there!
