Caps+Lock+Alarm

Caps Lock Alarm Do you hate it when you accidentally press the Caps Lock key? and a whole sentence typed in before you realize your mistake! Well you can set your computer so that it alerts you when your pinky finger wanders off and taps the Caps Lock key The first thing you'll need to do is get the computer to beep when you hit the Caps Lock key. Here's how: 1. Click the Start button > Settings > Control Panel (XP Users, hit the Start button, Control Panel ). Open the Accessibility Options Icon.

2. On the Keyboard tab, click the " Use Toggle Keys " checkbox.

That's it for the beeping part. Next, we need to get your screen to flash you, err, flash at you. Here's how: 1. From the Accessibility Options screen, click the Sound tab and check the " Use SoundSentry " checkbox.

2. Next click the Settings button and select " Flash active window " from the " Warning for windowed programs " drop down box.

That's it. Hit OK until you're clear of property and settings screens. Open your favourite word processor and hit your Caps Lock key. P.S. If you don't have an Accessibility Options icon in your Control Panel, you may not have it installed. To install, hit your Start button, Settings, Control Panel. Open the Add / Remove programs icon and click the Windows Setup tab. You'll be able to add components from there. Bare in mind you'll need your Windows CD!
