    Anyone beside me sick and tired of accidentally hitting the caps lock key on our laptop keyboards?

    I know I am.

    Absent the whole industry coming to it's senses and obsoleting the caps lock key (to the joy of noobs everywhere) I offer the .reg files at this link:

    Works on Vista and Win7. Should work fine on anything newer than XP.

    Good, simple stuff that can be reversed.

    nice, thanks. not that i hit it more than 5 times in my whole life yet accidentally.. but as i needed to use it to write something in capitals, about as often in my whole life, yeah, dropping it wouldn't hurt :)
