Frustrated with Caps Lock Always Being Enabled? How to Disable It

Whenever you boot your computer you might notice that you have few lights glowing on your keyboard. One is the 'NUM' key and the other glowing key is the 'CAPS LOCK' key. By default, the caps lock key is always enabled and this creates a problem particularly when you are logging into your account and you are unaware of the caps lock key being enabled. The end result is that you get an error message "wrong password" or "wrong username". Then, later on you realize that it was due to caps lock key being enabled accidentally. But, that is not your fault because by default, the caps lock key status is set to 'Enabled'.

You can avoid its effect by using the shift key but that's generally not the case. Due to the Caps not being really needed or a necessity anymore, then there is a way to actually disable it. To get to the point on what to do, just go to the end of this and you will see what you need to do in order to take care of this situation. You will need to perform some minor modifications in the registry.

Windows has never developed a default value for the caps key to be disabled. What needs to be done however is re-map the item in particular to something that doesn't exist, so that it can be disabled.

Follow this format below right down to the exact degree. Make note of the colors.

00000000 00000000 0200000000 00003A00 00000000

-The 1^st 16 0's don't mean anything as there are rather just there for show.

-See the "02" in bold. It represents how many keys need to be remapped plus 1.

-The 4 Orange-bolded 0's represent the key you wish to reroute to, in this case 0.

-In what looks to be a Blue bolded symbols, 3A00 represents the caps locking key.

-The last 8 0's actually don't mean anything and are rather useless.

If you want to, you could map the items between 02 and then add another colorful bold right in the middle. The 3A00 is actually the scan mode that is in the mix. If you wish to disable the caps lock key and then scroll locks into a caps lock key, then follow this key below.

Note: If you are a little scary to do this then please don't try this because you could end up with a damaged registry. So, the best option is to take the backup of registry first before performing this trick.
