AS you seen, it the previous replies, this seems to be part of the
Bluetooth protocl stack drivers / software provided by Widcomm, now
owned by Broadcom. I have been looking at the cause of this in my
Windows XP months before I installed my own Vista. Thank you for this
thread.

I noticed LchDrvKey in the processes and Googled it, but I'm not sure
if it's safe to change it.

I understand now that the page I mentioned is just Bluetooth which I
don't have.

Well if you don't want to temporarily disable it via MsConfig as I suggested
then I have no other advice. That route would be safer for you than editing
the registry which was your first plan of action.
Maybe somebody else will offer better idea.
Good luck.

Really, though, the joke wasn't all that funny :-)

Neither are many of mine, which therefore gives me the right to rag at
lemur...

What link ? You should quote the relevant text so everybody
knows what you are talking about.

You probably don't realise that the 'forum' you are posting to
is not the actual newsgroup that I, and many others, are posting to.

Re: Caps lock display - how to turn off?


Go to C:\windows

The pesky little bugger's name is CNYHKey.exe

I just renamed mine to CNYHkey_DISABLE.exe and rebooted.

Problem solved...

No ill effects so far. Hope this helps.
