Hi all.

I have a problem with my Caps Lock key which keeps reactivating itself
whenever I restart my computer. When I check the keyboards properties in the
Control panel, the "Disable" option is checked, but it simply doesnt stick.

I'd appreciate your 2ps.

Maybe it is plugged, you know, dirty?
I always Click it caps lock to beep in Accessibilty in CTRL Panel, because i
DANG hit it instead of the 'a' so many times.

I'm with you. I hate the caps lock key because I never want to use it,
but sometimes accidentally hit it. I feel the same way about the
Insert key.

But I don't use the beep feature. Instead I turn off both keys by
using the freeware program SharpKeys at
http://www.randyrants.com/sharpkeys/

To me, it's a much better choice than having it beep.
