Handy Utilities

A couple of useful utilities that I have found recently.

The first one disables the Touchpad on a Laptop when you are typing.

The second one displays an on-screen indication that Caps Lock or Num Lock is on.

Both are truly handy. Another option for Capslock is available if never needing the key. This is to disable it completely. I have done this myself. A Registry setting is needed but an Admin person over on the Windows Ten Forums has written a Reg file that automatically changes the setting, meaning that there is no need to go into the Registry. All that needs to be done is double-click on the file and accept the warning. There is also a Reg file for undoing the change. The files can be read about and downloaded from here.
