Deactivate Caps Lock?

[Computernaut]

Is there a way to deactivate caps lock? I always press it be accident when gaming which is quite annoying. I have a very normal keyboard and so do not have the advantage of programmable keys.

I dont think thats possible, maybe if there is an option in the bios but i doubt there is one.

Maybe you can use something like AutoHotKey to disable it's functionabilly. I say you should just learn to not hit caps lock by accident.

Pull the key cap off if it's removable.

If you are certain you never need it, you can put in a registry entry to disable it: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-desktop/disable-caps-lock-key/8083d4ee-721d-463f-aeda-630cd7f047c3

You can simply disable it in the registry.

I've done this with the Windows key before... died due to screen blanking when hitting it...

SharpKeys is easier than poking around in the registry as it does it for you.

It writes to the registry so just run it once, make the changes you want then delete the program and you never need it again. I used it to rebind pgup and pgdown to be volume controls, and the Windows key to an asterisk for much the same reason you want caps lock gone.

So I assume once it's gone it's gone?
