It worked great and I think it will be helpful. NO MORE CAPS WHEN I don't want them!

I tried to do this as I have this problem with the capital letters lock, but I couldn't find the accessibility option in the control panel. I have windows xp. Any other place it could be? Thanks

Hey! It works.
But my PC is way away from my desk, and I heard this tiny beep coming from somewhere, it sounded like it was coming from the clock on my desk! I found it, it's the PC 'loudspeaker', and not the Sound Card connected speakers that beep... Even so, pleased to have it, I too often hit Caps Lock instead of Shift and have to go back and re-type 3 or four lines of text in lower case.
Question.. Is there a way of highlighting text and changing case?
Cheers.

This is the best tip yet - It was driving me crazy to not know when the capitals were on or off
thanks a lot

Will be great except when I am using mediaplayer. Using it for first time just now I almost jumped out of seat. I often press my capsloc and make a mess.

Chris,
In MS Word, highlight your text and then hold down your SHIFT key and tap F3. It will cycle you through the different cases. It isn't as easy in OpenOffice Writer. There you have to highlight the text and click on Format | Change Case. If I find a key combination for it, I will let you know.

Your Caps Lock sound notification hint did not work. Do I have to reboot? If so,why don't you include that instruction?

Play a sound when Capslock turned on (as opposed to a "beep"!)
http://www.donationcoder.com/ For...msg3425#msg3425

Then there's "CapsLock Timer" - will turn off CapsLock "when idle for x number of seconds"

Here's another, if you forget Capslock is on and press Shift to capitalise it turns off Capslock

I dont know can you run all these together but you could always ask at the forums there

Barry, this should work on every PC. The only problem I can see is that of a PC without an internal speaker, or a defective speaker. The internal speaker provides the system beep, as well as error codes (is certain situations) through beeps.
