Hi Guys,

Can anyone out there help me ? Do please say Yes !!

I just installed Windows XP after a long and blissfully happy marriage
to Windows 98se.

During the installation, I chose the option to turn off the CAPS LOCK
with the SHIFT key, instead of the CAPS LOCK key. Great, I thought:
Just like the old typewriter days.

Yeah, well, that was OK but my brain won't learn the difference. Too
much pc for too long I guess. Whatever .... I need to change it back so
that CAPS LOCK toggles on and off like before. I find I can't remember
to hit the SHIFT kdy after all so I need to undo that installation
choice.

Here's the thing: I have triuple-checked every menu I can find and I
see no way at all of reversing that option. There must be a way to do
it, right ? It surely can't be a one-time only "choose at installation"
thing ...... can it ?

Somebody help this poor struggling wretch before me and the 'puter both
end up through the window and on the front lawn. Thanks

Meg

You should have a keyboard application on the control panel.
