waNOCAPS: CAPSLOCK  Terminator 2.0
Does this sound familiar:

  • You’ve never used the CAPS LOCK key on purpose, you’ve never needed it.
  • You’ve accidently pushed the key at least a thousand times.
  • YOU CONTINUE TYPING FOR ABOUT 10-30 SECONDS BEFORE YOU REALISE IT’S ON.
  • You have to retype the whole sentence (you don’t have a convert-to-lowercase macro).
  • You have to hit the CAPSLOCK and SHIFT key about 5 times to figure out how to turn it off on this particular keyboard.

For you, I’ve created waNOCAPS, the CAPSLOCK Terminator.
It’s not a program, it’s a registry adjustment (’hack’).
Inspiration came from: http://www.nthelp.com/50/remapctl.htm
It has been tested on Win2000 and WinXP.
