Vista Tutorial - scroll, number, caps lock indicators

01-21-2009

In the bottom right of my Vista computer, there are 3 tiny buttons (along
with all the others, like the clock, sound, printer, windows sidebar etc)
that say "num lock, caps lock, and scroll lock". I have never had these on
any computer, and see no need for them. I never look at them. How can I get
rid of them?

Those aren't Vista standard icons... they are probably something the
computer maker added.
What type of computer is it?
