how do I get rid of the caps-lock key on windows XP?

Question

I'm stuck on an XP machine at work, and I really hate the cap-lock key. In OSX, Linux, and Vista, I have always been able to map it to another ctrl (as it should be in any sane world).

However, in XP, I haven't find a way to do this this that doesn't involve editing resource files...

does anyone have a way to do this?

Answer 1

This site gives some registry files which can be used to disable the caps lock key or to repurpose it for something else.

Works for XP and also worked on Win7 when I got my new laptop. I hate the caps lock key, especially on machines without a half height key for it.
