At first I thought it was a coworker playing a joke on me..
I have a habit of locking my workstation whenever I leave my desk.
however i have noticed over the last several years that sometimes the capslock key would be on when I return. I don't notice this until i try typing in my password (which would fail because its in ALL CAPS) and then glance at the now illuminated caps lock key.
This has happened on and off across half a dozen workstations on 2000, XP, Vista, and Windows 7.
Possible causes
- I'm losing my mind
- "feature" in windows?
- some sort of institutional domain policy at my workplace
- someone has been messing with me for many many years
?
