Cap locks recognition problem on keyboard

Primrose

Help! There seems to be no way that I can easily find out whether the CAPS LOCK key is on or off on the new keyboard on our desktop computer. Consequently I keep typing the wrong case sensitive details for online passwords

Is there a clever keyboard which flashes up a light or beeps or something?

Most keyboards have a Caps Lock light, even a £5 one. Not MSE but buy a new one with a light.

Or just use your shift key for case sensitive letters. The only time i use caps lock is when im writing large amounts of text in capitals. I cant imagine a password would use that many capitals?

Disable the key either by removing the key cap or http://www.wikihow.com/Disable-the-Capslock-Key-in-Windows

I practically never use capslock at all, I could rip the key out of my keyboard and never miss it.
It's one step less annoying than the LH windows key (which loves to open my start menu and screw up whatever full screen application im running).

Keyboards that dont come with an indicator light included usually install a system tray icon to indicate caps lock when you install the drivers from the disk ..


Not so much if you just plug it in and let windows install its own drivers
