Save yourself from the ALL CAPS trick in XP

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

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.

Hey hit shift 5 times really fast it'll make the computer beep aswell.. (along with capslock) lol we did that in my computer lab ahwhile back and my teacher was at the point of ripping all the PC speakers out.. but by that point we were done that course
Funnest Sh!t to ever go down in there since my friend telling her to got break her hip already as she kicked him out of the course...(she's really old and bitchy)
