Is it possible to disable the capslock (other than trashing the keyboard)? Drives me nuts the amount of time I have the wrong capitalisation because I've accidentally hit it. Also, is there a way of selecting text and reversing the capitalisation (think you can in Word but was wondering if there was a catch all Windows way of doing it), TYI.

Try your local "special" school, they might have something their less gifted students use that may help.Originally posted by gricerboy View PostIs it possible to disable the capslock (other than trashing the keyboard)?

Yes, it can be done, but be sure you back up your registry first AND be sure you know how to restore that backup if Windows no longer starts. You need to reboot for the change to take effect (of course, it's Windows).
It's much easier in Linux
