Indeed.... but even better (for me, anyway):

<tip type="Caps Lock Problems" author="Paul Cowan">
For Windows-using Caps-Lock-haters:

Put the following 2 lines (between the dashes) in a file, called
NoCapsLock.reg. Watch for word wrap.

------------------
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode
Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,00,00,3a,00,00,00,00,00
------------------

And then double-click the file. Upon reboot: SHAZAM! Caps Lock is forever
disabled. Full stop. That's it. Caps-Lock-B-Gon. And there was much
rejoicing.
