Disable Caps Lock

REG files that will enable you to customize the system's reaction when you push the Caps Lock key
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.
