strange caps lock problem

Vista Home Premium 64bit

I don't know what happened or what I might have done to cause this, but a
while ago the caps lock key stopped working in all my desktop applications.
The only places where it still works are in a cmd window, the taskbar's
address bar, and Notepad. Everywhere else the state of the caps lock key is
ignored. The only way I can type caps is to hold down the shift key while
typing.

TIA,

Tom

Please disregard. I just found the cause of my problem and fixed it.

And it's a highly classified secret, too.
