I tried the two websites mentioned here. One website did not work. The other asked for a free download and I did so. I watched very carefully to make sure I did not download anything else.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions and the bit of humor. This is what makes this forum the greatest!!
Good Job ---carry on.

One solution that helps but does not disable Caps Lock is to do the following:
Go to the Control Panel > Region and Language > select the "Keyboards & Languages" tab > click "Change Keyboards" > select the "Advanced Key Settings" tab.
Under "To turn off Caps Lock" select "Press the SHIFT key".
Once this is done, pressing the shift key turns Caps Lock off.
