what is the best way to disable the stupid CAPS LOCK key?
On a 15" T60 running XP Pro - is there a registry hack to disable this useless and annoying key?

Back when I was a fresh Thinkpadder, I used the ThinkPad Keyboard Customizer to make the Caps Lock activate/deactivate only if I held the key for a couple of seconds. This way I couldn't activate it accidentally but it still was available if I needed it on a rare occasion.
Nowadays, I'm much better at hitting exactly the keys I want so I'm not using this anymore.
