How to disable Caps Lock indicator. Pop-up notification. Computer educational program Caps lock does not turn off

If when you press Caps Lock the game minimizes or the game goes into windowed mode, then the caps lock indicator on the screen is to blame. Which appears in the lower right corner of the screen every time you press Caps Lock or Num Lock.

Except Caps Lock And Num Lock A window pops up in the lower right corner of the screen above the clock telling you to turn it on/off Scroll Lock.

A pop-up notification about turning on Caps/Num Lock interferes not only with games, but also with many programs running in full screen mode and requiring these keys to be pressed.

For example, in GTA 5, the Caps Lock key enables a special ability. And when you press it, the game goes into windowed mode, which is simply unacceptable! You can, of course, change the assignment of the keys, but in GTA V, almost all the keys are occupied and besides, this will not solve the problem globally.

To get rid of this notification, you need to disable the program that displays it. You can do this in startup if you know what it is called.

It often happens that its name is unknown or there is no such program in startup. This happens especially often in laptops.

As it turned out, Caps Lock notification is generated by BTTray.exe process which can only be disabled in the registry.

How to enter the registry:

Start > Run > enter “regedit” and go to the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Widcomm > BTConfig > General > KeyIndication > change the value of "KeyIndication" instead of "1" set to "0". Click OK and close the Registry Editor.

We reboot the computer and rejoice in the absence of this nasty notification!

At launch we write msconfig, select there, find the program BTTray and remove it from startup. This software starts after installation wireless headphones and similar Bluetooth devices.

Hello, friends! Today we will talk about how to disable unnecessary Windows features 7.

Agree, Windows has a lot of different, sometimes annoying functions, such as sticky keys, the CAPS LOCK key, etc., that I would like to eliminate. Let's look at some of them, and methods for "deactivating" them =) There are, of course, various tuning programs, such as TweekUI, Tune Up and the like, but why use something third-party when there are regular ones Windows tools? Let's go in order

How to disable the Caps Lock key?

How often do you use this key for its intended purpose? Unless you “cap” on the forums, which only annoys everyone in the end, and sometimes you can get a ban for frequent inappropriate use of “caps”. And how often, when entering a password, this key is magically pressed, and the password is naturally entered incorrectly? Some services, of course, warn that Caps Lock is pressed, but not all.

In general, I personally don’t need this key at all. So why not turn it off completely? To do this, we need to create a simple text file and enter the following values ​​into it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 "Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,2a,00,3a,00,00,00,00, 00

Then we save the file and give it some name, for example, disable_capslock. And we change the file extension: instead of .txt, we write .reg. The file is ready. Now we click on it twice, and in the pop-up windows we agree with everything. Don't pay attention in this particular case pay attention to the various system warnings, this file will not cause harm, guaranteed.

Simply making any changes to the registry (and this is where we are making them now) can sometimes lead to Windows crashing if you don’t know what to make and where to make it.

After this, restart the computer. And voila! The annoying Caps Lock key no longer functions and doesn't bother us! If for some reason you need to change everything back, create a new text file, name it something and enter the following values:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 "Scancode Map"=-

As with the first file, change the extension to reg. Then run it, agree with everything, and restart your computer. The functionality of the key will be restored. In general, instead of disabling Caps Lock, you can assign it another function, but I don’t see much point in this.

If you don’t want to bother with creating reg files, you can download the archive with ready-made files:

• disable_capslock.reg (disable Caps Lock)
• restore_scancode_mappings.reg (reset changes).

This archive may be criticized modern browsers, because it still contains reg files. But I guarantee that there is nothing bad in these files.

How to disable deletion confirmation?

If, when deleting a file, you are annoyed by the question that constantly pops up:

You can disable this confirmation dialog. This can be done as easily as possible. Open the properties of the "Trash" and uncheck "Ask for confirmation to delete"

Please note that it is better not to check the box “Destroy files immediately after deletion, without placing them in the trash”. You never know, suddenly you want to restore deleted file from the basket. But for permanent deletion just use the key combination SHIFT And DEL, instead of standard DEL.

How to disable Sticky Keys?

Sticky Keys is activated by pressing SHIFT five times, and this feature is designed for people with disabilities. But for most people this is completely unnecessary. And even more - it is very annoying if you accidentally press it five times (a child presses, for example, or a cat lies down on the keyboard). This is especially annoying for gamers when a sign like this may pop up during a game:

So, to disable this feature, simply click on the link in the dialog box that appears: “Go to the accessibility center to disable the keyboard shortcut.” And uncheck "Enable Sticky Keys when pressing SHIFT keys five times"

You can do it even more cunningly and assign a completely different function to pressing five times, for example, calling command line(cmd.exe) as administrator. But more about this some other time.

Removing unnecessary items from the context menu

Many programs, when installed, "smuggle themselves" not only onto the desktop, into the panel quick launch, in the Start menu, but also in context menu(this is a list of commands and functions that we see when we press right click mouse (RMB) on some file). And sometimes the context menu is really cumbersome and has unnecessary items. Especially for those who regularly install and uninstall everything. So, to “clean” it and remove all unnecessary things, you can use such a wonderful utility as . It is very functional and has long proven itself only with positive side. In addition, it is free (there is also PRO version). You can download it from the official website

I will publish a full review of this program later, in the “Software” section. And now we are interested in its ability to adjust the autoloading of the context menu. To do this, go to the “Tools” – “Startup” section in the program, and go to the “Context Menu” tab, where you can easily disable everything unnecessary.

That's probably all. But only for today! Wait for new articles and useful things. And so as not to miss anything “delicious”, subscribe to updates.

This post is a collection of useful tips for computer programs, which have come in handy over the past few weeks.

1. Caps Lock translation

The Caps Lock function (typing text in capital letters) is activated by pressing the special “Caps Lock” button. We often notice that the Caps Lock key has been pressed even after a lot of text has been typed. Then it becomes necessary to remove caps lock in already typed text. You may also need to remove capslock in the text if you are copying material written in capital letters from another source and want to make the letters “normal,” because I already wrote that expressing thoughts in capslock is a sign of bad upbringing. Translating ready-made text from Caps Lock mode is very simple: paste the text in capital letters into Word, select it and press Shift+F3. Similarly, you can transform text and vice versa.

2. Sending messages on Skype

By default sending messages in Skype latest version occurs when you press the Enter key. But the key combinations in Skype can be changed if desired. Go to “Tools -> Settings -> Chats and SMS -> Chat Settings” and set the Enter key to “line break” instead of “send message”. Now messages will be sent using the Ctrl+Enter key combination.

3. How to change file extension in Windows 7

Changing the extension is not difficult, the main thing is to enable the display of file extensions. This is done as follows: open any folder on the computer and in the upper left corner click on the “Organize -> Folder and Search Options” button, on the “View” tab uncheck the “Hide extensions for registered file types” line. After this, all files on your computer (music, graphics, text, etc.) are displayed with extensions. To change the extension, right-click on the file, select “Rename” and enter the desired extension instead of the existing one.

4. How to add a movie to iTunes

Previously, I never had a question about how to upload a movie to iTunes, because this is done, in principle, in an elementary way: the video file is simply dragged into the media library from the folder in which it is stored. The same action can be performed by clicking “File -> Add file to library” in the application menu or simply pressing the hot keys Ctrl+O. But today I was faced with the fact that several films of a format suitable for the iPad are not added to iTunes; the program simply ignores attempts to add the file without producing any errors. Google has arrived to help me, and suggested what to do if movies are not transferred to iTunes in the standard way: find the folder “Users/(username)/My music/Itunes/iTunes Media/Automatically add to iTunes” on your computer and put the necessary movies into it; restart iTunes and the films will appear in your library. Thus, I was able to upload all the films except one - it continues to “resist” and appears in the “Not added” subfolder created by the system in the “Automatically add to iTunes” folder.

Caps Lock key - handy tool, which can be used when the user needs to write one or more letters or even the entire text in capital letters. It is worth keeping in mind that pressing this key will cause a change appearance only letters to be typed: for example, numbers and others Special symbols will not change from its use.

Using the Caps Lock key

Additional options for using the key

This technique, however, can be used in the opposite way. For example, you are typing text in capital letters with the Caps Lock key turned on, and you need to change one or more letters to lowercase. In this case, you should hold down the Shift button while pressing the required letters: it is temporarily lower case, and after you release it, Caps Lock mode will become permanent again. Don't forget to turn it off after you've finished typing in capital letters.
