Save yourself from the ALL CAPS trick in XP

Post by blade »

Ever type a paragraph or two then realize you typed in all or mostly all caps? Well I sure have. :d


Hold down the num lock key for 5 seconds and you'll get this:

Self explanatory. If you toggle that on then you'll get a beep from your computer when you toggle num lock, scroll lock or the ole caps lock on or off. This way you'll know when you hit CAPS LOCK.

Using XP? It comes up on 2 systems here but it might be XP only.

If you did a custom XP install and didn't install the accessibility tools it won't be there. It works on Win2k as well, btw, just hit the Num or Caps lock key 5-6 times in a row right quick.
