Disable Caps lock

Picsou1981 · Oct 16, 2008

Hi all.

I have a problem with my Caps Lock key which keeps reactivating itself
whenever I restart my computer. When I check the keyboards properties in the
Control panel, the "Disable" option is checked, but it simply doesnt stick.

I'd appreciate your 2ps.

Hi Picsou1981,

I would check the BIOS settings, and make sure the Caps Lock is not being
enabled each time you power up the system. It sounds as though the Caps
Lock is being enabled before Windows even starts.

HTH,

I'm with you. I hate the caps lock key because I never want to use it,
but sometimes accidentally hit it. I feel the same way about the
Insert key.

But I don't use the beep feature. Instead I turn off both keys by
using the freeware program SharpKeys at
http://www.randyrants.com/sharpkeys/

To me, it's a much better choice than having it beep.
