HOW TO DISABLE CAPS LOCK
NO MORE OF THIS PESKY CAPS LOCK ANGERING EVERYBODY.
When the key is disabled, it will not activate the lock itself instead it will be a regular key. In games that use the CAPS lock it will still function for its' intended purpose. For example in Fallout 3 it is the default toggle for walk/run, that will still work. This method only works for the lock itself.
