How do I disable the CapsLock button on my computer?

Question

I'm constantly PRESSING IT BY ACCIDENT but in reality hardly ever use it. I once saw some program or website that showed you how to disable the Caps Lock button, but foolishly did not save.

Answer 1

I don't really know. You can always cut off your pinky. lol Okay. Perhaps not. Peace and God bless.

Answer 2

You can disable your Caps Lock key or attach a sound to it: Click Start, Control Panel (in Windows 98 and ME, click Start, Settings, Control Panel). Double-click Accessibility Options. On the Keyboard tab, select Use Toggle Keys. That will attach a beep to Caps Lock. This will also attach a beep to your Num Lock key.

There is a program called CapsUnlock that will lock your Caps Lock key preventing you from accidentally turning it on. It runs as a little tray application in the taskbar (an icon to the left of the clock). The user can select an override option, which allows CapsLock to be switched on and off by holding down the left Shift key while pressing CapsLock. Also, CapsUnlock also disables the Insert key (the overstrike feature).

CapsUnlock runs on all Windows operating systems

How To Disable the Caps Lock Key

1. Make a copy of the System file (in your System Folder).
2. Open the copy with ResEdit.
3. Open the KCHR resource.
4. Select one of the keyboard layouts (I used the U.S. System 6 layout).
5. Choose Duplicate from the Edit menu.
6. Highlight the duplicate and press Command-I.
7. Name the new layout something like No Caps Lock.
8. Open that layout by double-clicking.
9. Press the Caps Lock key. You'll notice that the picture of the Caps Lock key onscreen darkens.
10. Drag the lower case letters in the upper window to the appropriate spots on the picture of the keyboard (drag "a" to the "A" key).
11. Close and save the window. Quit ResEdit.
12. Name the altered system somthing like Altered System.
13. Drag your real System out of the System Folder and replace it with Altered System (DON'T THROW AWAY YOUR OLD SYSTEM! You might need it again).
14. Once Altered System is in the System Folder, rename it System.
15. Restart your Mac.
16. To get rid of Caps Lock, open the Keyboard control panel and select the No Caps Lock layout.
17. Pushing Caps Lock will now seemingly have no effect.

Answer 4

Is it really that important... just don't press the caps lock button, and if you do press it again. You never know when you're "shift" button may stop working and you may need the caplocks....

Answer 5

well you can try taking the key off the caps lock button, so if you keep hitting it whenever you press A that might hinder the chances of hitting it. but i would not recommend this. instead practice your typing skills, be precise not rushing.

Answer 6

Don't do it. You'll regret it.
