Mrs. Mecomber’s Scrapbook

I discovered a tutorial on how to disable the caps lock key on computer keyboards. I don’t know about you, but the caps lock being where it is on the keyboard drives me beserk. I am ALWAYS hitting that DURN THING AND THEN I HAVE TO GO BACK A RE-DO ALL THAT I HAVE TYPED. Gr! The computer keyboard is still designed the way it has been, for… what is it now, 100 years? since the typewriter burst on the scene. Very little modification has occurred.

The tutorial, here at the How-To Geek (a good website) is short and sweet. This tweak does require you to tinker with the computer registry. Like the electric circuit panel of your home, you don’t want to be sticking your hands in there if you don’t know what you’re doing. With caution and a backup, you can’t really go wrong, however.

With the caps lock disabled, the Internet will be a quieter place! And now we can go about doing useful things,like blogging about wine racks or something. Heh.
