Every time I upgrade to a new computer, it takes me a month or two to get fed up with the capslock key. Then I figure out how to get rid of it. My old standby, anticapslock, appears to be defunct.
Here are two alternatives I'm experimenting with:
http://www.colemak.com/ - Looks promising, but after installation I could not find it, and it defaults to NOT change the caps lock key. Go figure. The separate utility
or
http://pkl.sourceforge.net/ - Again looks promising, (and may in fact be the same program as colemak) but I found this program to be confusing to use and could not get it to work. I would be interested in what others have to say about it.
So far, my simplest procedure is to install one of the .reg files, and reboot, to turn the capslock key into a backspace key. The link for that procedure is here:
http://colemak.com/Registry_remapping
For those who want to keep things simple, I'm attaching the capslock->backspace reg file to this message. To use it, double click on it, say OK to the resulting string of dialogs, and restart your system.
Ah, for the good old days of anticapslock, which simply installed and worked.
