Did you ever have a problem entering a password, then find your CapsLock key was on?

How about a problem because you accidentally hit ‘caps lock’ instead of ‘a’ or ‘shift’ and now you’re accidentally SHOUTING? Do you ever intentionally use the Caps Lock? No? You probably use the ‘shift’ key, like most people.

I used to accidentally hit that pesky Caps Lock key frequently… until I disabled it! Here is how you can too.
