waNoCaps - Disable the cAPS-lOCK kEY Forever!

If this sounds familiar:

  • You’ve never used the CAPS LOCK key on purpose, you’ve never needed it.
  • You’ve accidentally 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).

waNOCAPS, the CAPSLOCK Terminator, is what you need. It’s not a program, it’s a registry adjustment (’hack’).

To Disable CapsLock:

  1. Double-click disable_caps.reg
  2. Reboot (Your CAPSLOCK actually becomes a 3rd CTRL-key)

To Re-Enable CapsLock:

  1. Double-click enable_caps.reg
  2. Reboot

I have applied this ‘hack’ to all our office computers. It keeps anyone from typing notes in client files in all caps. Everyone thinks their message needs attention - so you get these messages that are ALL CAPS and therefore a pain to read.
