In Vista, I had previously made my caps lock function as a control key, the problem is I don't know how to undo the change. I have searched around and most references I find mention changing the ScancodeMap in the registry but this isn't working for me (rebooted after and no change). I even tried the registry files available at http://johnhaller.com/jh/useful_stuff/disable_caps_lock/.
So, what other ways are there to make my caps lock act like a caps lock again?
Update: I've tried the following with no success:
- Removing scan code mappings with
remove_scancode_mappings.reg - Remapping Caps Lock to Caps Lock with SharpKeys
After each attempt, I have completely rebooted my machine.

SharpKeys should allow you to fix that, just map Caps Lock back to itself:There is also AutoHotkey:It seems it was a lower level problem. The key was mapped in the software that came with the keyboard.
