[blut wump]

I'VE HEARD SOME PEOPLE CAN POST ALL IN CAPS. HOW CAN THIS BE POSSIBLE?

Fire up regedit and go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout

Create a REG_BINARY entry called Scancode Map with the value calculated above. After you enter the values, the "modify" window should look like this:

Value Name:

Scancode Map

Value data:

0000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
0008 02 00 00 00 2A 00 3A 00
0010 00 00 00 00

Exit regedit, reboot and test.

This will map capslock to left shift and you will never have a problem with capslock again.
