Spring has finally sprung here in Davis.  Now is the time to do your spring cleaning.  Merriam-Webster defines Spring Cleaning as the act or process of doing a thorough cleaning of a place.  Most people associate spring cleaning with their homes.  However, now is also a great time to do some 'digital' spring cleaning.  Like cleaning your home, the work won't be fun, but you'll improve your security and your devices might run faster.

Have you ever been typing a message to someone and suddenly EVERYTHING’S IN CAPS AND IT SEEMS LIKE YOU’RE YELLING AT THEM? Or have you used the numeric keypad to quickly input numbers, but instead the cursor jumps around the screen or changes to insert mode?

In these cases, the culprit is probably one of the toggle keys: Caps Lock, Num Lock, or Scroll Lock (don’t worry – nobody knows what Scroll Lock does). If you want to avoid accidentally enabling one of these keys, Windows can help by playing a notification sound when one of these keys is pushed.
