I want caps lock on all the time

[Kraemer]

I'm looking for a way to edit the registry so that caps
lock turns on at startup and then I want to prevent it
from being turned off

Hi

Why? If you post messages in these NGs with Caps Lock on - you may very well not get any answers!!

A company I consult for enters their data in "caps only"
to prevent errors. Since some terminals are data entry
only, I would like to configure them to always type in
caps.

To disable the capslock key, add the following registry value. (reboot required to take effect)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,00,00,3a,00,00,00,00,00

-----------------------------------------------------

To turn capslock on, use the following two lines in a .vbs login or startup script:

Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WSHShell.SendKeys "{CAPSLOCK}"

Some stuff has to be typed in lower case, like ID's and some passwords..
fixing so that upper case is always on might bring problems all of its own,
and if you are not able to use lower case at all, recovery could well become
impossible..

How on earth does typing in caps only prevent errors?

I could use something like that. Hell, you could make money
from something like that.
