SwitchCapsToScrollLock.reg -- Disables Caps Lock and swaps Scroll lock to be Caps Lock
KillCapsLock.reg ----------------Disables Caps Lock
DisableKeyboardRemap --------Uninstalls the preference by deleting the key

Just double click the one you want to install

Once you’ve applied one of these registry files, you’ll have to reboot your computer for it to work.
To uninstall, you can use the uninstall registry tweak.

I always go into the user settings so it beeps if I hit it instead of A.
It's seriously annoying to type a sentence in all caps and have to redo.

I just changed mine to shift function.
So it shifts without locking.

I always swap the shift lock and control keys because I'm a big user of shortcuts and still use WordStar commands (macros now in Word), which rely totally on control commands.

In the old, old days the control key was to the left of the home row keys, a very logical place.

Microsoft forced the world to go to a keyboard that dropped ihto that awkward spot on the bottom right of the keyboard.

This swapping drives everyone else in our business crazy because they can't use my computer very easily, which is okay by me.
