Remap Capslock to behave as a Control Key

The Capslock key is near useless and causes more harm then good. But there is good news; it only takes a minute to turn your Capslock into a Control key.

1. Open Regedit.exe (Start->Run: regedit or Type regedit in the Windows 7 "Awesome Bar")
2. Browse in the Registry Editor to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout
   
   
   
3. Click Edit->New->Binary Value and name it "Scancode Map"
4. Double click Scancode Map and set the value to:
   00,00,00,00, 00,00,00,00, 02,00,00,00, 1d,00,3A,00, 00,00,00,00

Thats it! After restarting your computer your Capslock key will function as a Control key instead.

P.S. Chuck Norris does not have a Control key on his keyboard.... (he is always in control).
