Making the Shift key automatically remove Caps Lock

If you find yourself frequently annoyed by Caps Lock being on when it shouldn't, you might appreciate it if hitting Shift automatically disabled Caps Lock. It just so happens that Windows has a feature to do that. How do enable it in the UI changes from version to version, but the Registry change is fairly simple.

There is (or can be) a DWORD value called Attributes in HKCU\Keyboard Layout. The sixteenth bit of its data specifies whether this feature is active, so if the entry isn't there at all or is zero, you can set it to 65536 (decimal).

The feature does have some unusual side effects. Caps Lock can no longer turn itself off, only on. Some applications - Hyper-V as one that I use - start interpreting every Shift press as a toggle of Caps Lock.
