    Showing CapsLock status on screen

    I have Vista Home Premium SPlatest. I recently purchased a Logitech MK250
    wireless keyboard; and afterwards noticed the absence of the Caps/NumLock
    indicators.
    I suppose the keyboard would have to be a receiver in addition to being a
    transmitter, in order to show the indicator status (if changed by the OS, it
    would have to know)
    I did not notice any CD with the keyboard.
    I understand SetPoint is meant to show a Systray status, but I also read some
    comments about it interfering with other Vista components.
    Can someone give me code for a simple service that just displays the current
    status on CapsLock and NumLock on the systray? Or some simple siftware that
    does this? Just show the status.

    I would highly suggest using Google (or another Internet search engine) to
    look around and try some for yourself.

    Example:
    http://www.google.com/search?&q="Windows+Vista"+status+indicator+software+for+numlock+and+capslock

    With that alone, I quickly found this freeware:
    http://www.binaryfortress.com/traystatus/

    Haven't tried it - but...

    Thanks!!

    I did find TrayStatus, and a host of others, but not many user comments. I am
    hoping this forum will advise: SetPoint of Logitech is I think what would be
    recommended by Logitech, but I did come across some very unpleasant comments
    about it. Particularly uninstalling it: the person mentioned that there were
    about 3000 entries in the registry that were to be manually unloaded.


    That was the capslock on!

    I've tried Shenan Stanley's suggestion (TrayStatus), Caps Lock Light, and
    NumCapsScroll indicator. They all work fine for me.

    I'm using the third because I like its display better (after configuring
    it my way), but YMMV, and one of the other two (or one of the many others
    on the net) might work better for you...
