Is there any way to turn off the "Caps Lock" key on my computer keyboard?

Sometimes I accidentally press the "Caps Lock" key on my PC, and then everything I type becomes capitalized. I never intentionally use the Caps Lock key so I am wondering if there is a way to disengage it. Thanks in advance!

    yes, there are a couple of ways to do it, you can either, map the caps lock key to another one you dont use like pause just have a look on google. or you can get a copy of dissability keyboard and it will do the same thing.

    First thing you should learn to type. You shouldn't be hitting the caps lock KEY RECKlessly (oops.. : p)

    I mean it can happen to anyone but you should work on it.

    Second thing, you can remove the key from the keyboard but then you won't be able to press it when you really need it.

    Third, you can find some software keys to do it. I'll be pasting one for windows below if you have it.

    1. Go to Start → Run → regedit

    2. Go to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout

    3. Right-click on the right half of the screen and choose New → Binary

    4. Name the new Value 'Scancode Map'

    5. Enter 00000000000000000200000000003A0000000000

    6. Close

    7. Reboot.

    Remove the caps lock key by pulling it off. That will fix the problem.
