Disable Caps Lock

Now you can disable your Caps Lock key in Windows... without any special software, and without having to pry the key off with a screwdriver.

Accidentally hitting the Caps Lock key when typing up an email or coding can be maddening. Most people never use it anyway, so why not disable it? In Windows, you can by adding some keyboard scancode mapping information to your Windows registry. By downloading one of the zipped .REG files you can disable your shift key yourself without needing to muck around with the registry.

￭ These files are provided without warranty. Use them at your own risk. ￭ These files will overwrite any keyboard mappings you currently have. ￭ .REG files update your Windows registry. Incorrect changes to the registry may damage Windows or other installed software. Be sure you know what a given .REG file contains before merging it into the registry. ￭ These files are unsupported, please do not contact me with questions on their use.
