    When i press caps lock i get caps lock on or caps lock off on my monitor, how do i change it so it doesnt display this? i use it as my push to talk and such and it minimizes my games when i hit it by accident.

    1. Control Panel ----> Bluetooth Devices ----> Bluetooth Settings
    Uncheck the box for "Show the Bluetooth icon in the notification area"

    2. Open CCleaner's Startup Items module or use MSCONFIG via the RUN Command if you don't have CCleaner installed. Find BTTray.exe and disable it to prevent it from launching at Startup.

    3. Reboot.

    The notification is being generated by the Bluetooth driver. Disabling the startup item should have no impact on Bluetooth functionality.

    well, as long as its fixed - dont worry about it. To access your BT items if you have any, just go the route of control panel ---> bluetooth devices. If you have the task tray icon present, its going to show the CAPS LOCK indication when the key is depressed. I have no idea why.
