I thought this was a useful tip about a non-obvious solution to something which has bugged me. >>MAKE THE [CAPS LOCK] KEY SOUND OFF. How many times have you been typing along only to look up and notice that while you were typing, you accidentally hit the [Caps Lock] key and everything you've typed since then is in uppercase? Of course, to clean up this mess you have to delete everything you've just typed and start over. Fortunately, we've discovered a feature to help you avoid this by assigning a sound to the [Caps Lock] key so that it beeps when you press it. To use this feature, you must have the Accessibility Options installed. To assign a sound to the [Caps Lock] key, access Control Panel and double-click the Accessibility Options icon. When the Accessibility Properties sheet appears, select the Use ToggleKeys check box in the ToggleKeys panel. Then, to enable the setting, click the OK. Now whenever you press the [Caps Lock] key, you'll hear a beep from your system's tiny built-in speaker. The beep will be louder when you turn [Caps Lock] on than when you turn it off.
