Re: Caps lock key turning itself on.

They're probably turning on StickyKeys, which is one of several Windows
features meant to help people with special needs. The shortcut to turn it on
is to press the Shift key five times in a row, and that could easily be
happening to your students.

Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Accessibility Options. Uncheck the
"Use StickyKeys" box and any others that are checked. Also click each
Settings button and uncheck the "Use shortcut" option to prevent
accidentally turning on the features.

We have a keyboarding class here at school. When the students begin
to learn the shift key and used it several times in each row of
keyboard practice, we began to have a problem with Microsoft Word
program setting the Caps Lock on. How can we keep this from happening?
