Um, By any chance is it safe, or can it kill my desktop?

In OSX, just go to System Preferences, Keyboard & Mouse, then in the Keyboard Tab click Modifier Keys. Set the Caps Lock to No Action and it’s disabled. (that’s the steps for Tiger, in Panther there is a freeware program called uControl that lets you disable it, and I imagine the steps for Leopard are similar to Tiger)

Seth, if you download DoubeCommand I believe you can turn the Caps Lock key into a CTRL key. That seems like it would get a little more use.

I don’t understand how people can write an entire e-mail in caps. If it is more than one line, it just says they are lazy, because if it is more than one line people should notice it.

I highly recommend to remap the Caps Lock to the backspace key. Check out http://www.colemak.com for an ergonomic keyboard layout with Caps Lock remapped to backspace.

Dont forget to backup your registry. If you break it you buy it.
