Pressing caps lock key unintentionally can indeed be frustrating, but rather than disabling it I set it to make 'beep' sound whenever it's pressed. That way you still have use of it when required without any messing about. Also works for scroll-lock and num-lock. The feature is built in to Windows. Control Panel - Accessibility Options - Keyboard - enable 'Togglekeys'.
