    Stop caps lock key in windows 7

    I have a software which is used for filling up forms online. In my keyboard the problem is that only shift key can be used to create capital letters. But if by mistake caps lock is on then many junk characters are created automatically in the text of the form. This creates a lot of problem. So I just need basic way to disable the caps lock permanently from the keyboard.

    The caps lock key is one of those remainders of another age of computers, back when people used to shout at each other additional often. Since it’s not completely useful anymore we will learn how to put out of action it. If you are not concerned in the clarification you can skip to the bottom for the registry files. Windows does not have a default setting to allow for disabling the key, so what we have to do is re-map the key to something non-existent so as to completely disable it.

    But the same is probable by some binary coding. Here’s the arrangement of the binary data, with the significant parts in bold and various colors: 00000000 00000000 02000000 00003A00 00000000. Here’s how it works: The first 16 zeros are just there to waste space. The “02? in bold represents how many keys you are going to re-map plus 1. (It really represents the length of the data, but whatever) The orange bolded “0000? is the key we actually want Windows to map TO, which in this case is nothing, or 0. The blue bolded “3A00? is the key we are mapping from, in this case the caps lock key. The next 8 zeros are there to waste space as the null terminator.

    You can map flanked by numerous keys by incrementing the “02? and then adding another of the colorful bold blocks in the middle. The 3A00 in the mix is the scan code. For example, if you wanted to disable the caps lock key and then change scroll lock into a caps lock key: 00000000 00000000 03000000 00003A00 3A004600 00000000.

    You can download some this applications which are available on internet. this are registry editing software. so you have to take care that can create errors in cause of any wrong file download. but that will be on your own risk. 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, or you can simply delete the Scancode Map key entirely.
