| | Caps Lock problems The Caps Lock key drives me nuts. I often find that I have typed several lines in caps, where it wasn't intended. In Win XP, I could fix things easily so that the Shift key did turn off the Caps Lock: http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/p...cle.asp?ID=389 How do I go about it in Vista? TIA Roger. |

This is not the same thing, but you may find it helpful. It will show you how to turn on the beep alert for the toggle keys. This way the computer will beep at you when any of the toggle keys are pressed, or the Caps Lock key is bumped by mistake. Toggle keys beep alert Shawn |

There are two keys I never use on purpose and always want turned off. One is the caps lock key, and the other is the Insert key. I turn both off with the little program SharpKeys, at http://www.randyrants.com/sharpkeys/ -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User Please Reply to the Newsgroup |

| | Re: Caps Lock problems Depending on the driver software for your particular keyboard, the Caps lock could also be turned off there. I use a cordless Logitech mouse and keyboard (MX3000) and have the Caps lock turned off via Logitech's software (accessed via the System Tray).

| | Re: Caps Lock problems Having used a regular typewriter for many decades, where the shift key turns off caps lock, I always did set up Windows to act that same way. I will have some difficulties adapting to other settings, would like very much to keep the same setup. However, I suppose that is no longer possible in Vista. Thanks, all. Roger.
