Scan Code Mapper for Windows is documented here:

http://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/tech/input/w2kscan-map.asp

This page doesn't give the scan code for left shift; I found that here:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q59131

Here are the scan codes given on this page:

ctrl	0x1D
alt	0x38
left shift	0x2A
right shift	0x36

The map value is as follows:

00000000	header version (zero)
00000000	header flags (zero)
00000002	number of entries (including terminator)
003A002A	map caps lock (0x3A) to left shift (0x2A)
00000000	null terminator map

If you want to just disable caps lock, map it to zero (0x00) instead of left shift (0x2A).

Converting these values to little endian you have:

00000000 00000000 0200000000 2A003A00 00000000

Now fire up regedit and go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout

Create a REG_BINARY entry called Scancode Map with the value calculated above. After you enter the values, the "modify" window should look like this:

Value Name:

Scancode Map

Value data:

0000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
0008 02 00 00 00 2A 00 3A 00
0010 00 00 00 00
