  1. Click Start->Run and the type regedit and then press enter
  2. Navigate to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout
  3. Add a new string value and name it: Scancode Map
  4. Add the following data to the Scancode Map:
    00000000 00000000 02000000 00003A00 00000000
  5. You have to reboot your computer for the changes to take effect.
To re-enable the caps lock key just remove the Scancode Map and give your computer a reboot.
