There is another way much... much more complicated, but can remap keys when you play BC2 only:!:

Buy a gaming keyboard ^_^

Mine auto disables things like alt-tab, caps, windows key :)

Or you can look at the screen when you type....

Firstly, is this really a problem while gaming? In my experience you usually don't type enough in-game to warrant actually going out of your way to disable such a key. Also, if you disable caps lock, then how do you bring up the squad screen in BF2/BF2142? (If you have to re-map it then what's the point?) Or does this just disable the caps-lock functionality, but not the key itself?

Personally, I sometimes end up pressing the caps lock key by accident when I'm working on my laptop (read: working, if it happens when I play I don't care). It still not annoying enough for me to do anything about it. It's pretty cool that it's possible tho.

It disable caps lock totally i think. Dont know if it works if you assain it to a funktion ingame though, might work? have to try that.
But i think this is great news.

I hate when i write with caps on, that means i have to re-write again. i always have to edit my spelling anyways and that is enough for me :)
And i dont think !w !k !b works with caps on.

I was really thinking of taking it away from the keyboard and burn it but this is better :)

I will never use it again!! (maby in bf3 if its needed)

Edit: i changed my signature ;)
