How to Create Audio and Visual Warnings for Caps Lock, Num Lock, and Scroll Lock:

If you are like many computer users who never learned how to type properly, you probably spend more time looking at your keyboard then looking at the computer screen. This could be problematic, especially if you accidentally press the Caps Lock key and type several sentences in all capital letters before you notice your mistake. To prevent this, you can tweak Windows to notify you whenever you press the Caps Lock, Numbers Lock, or Scroll Lock keys.

Here’s how you can Create Audio and Visual Warnings for Caps Lock, Num Lock, and Scroll Lock:


  1. Click the Start button in the lower-left corner of Windows.
  2. Click the Control Panel. (If you don’t see this option, your Start menu is in classic mode. In that case, click Settings, and then select the Control Panel.)
  3. Click Accessibility Options. If your Control Panel is in classic view, proceed to Step 4. If your Control Panel is in category view, the Pick a Task screen appears. Toward the bottom of this screen, click the Accessibility Options icon.
  4. A window opens. Click the Keyboard tab (Printers/Others Harddrive).
  5. Under the ToggleKeys heading, put a checkmark in the Use ToggleKeys box.
  6. Click the Sound tab.
  7. Under the SoundSentry heading, put a checkmark in the Use SoundSentry box.
  8. Use the Choose the Visual Warning drop-down menu to select your preferred method ofvisual warning: Flash the active caption bar, Flash the active window, or Flash the desktop.
  9. Click the Apply button.
  10. Click the OK button.
