This article talks about how you can make the caps key serve another function like being Ctrl instead.

There is a little program called REMAPKEY.EXE that comes with the Resource Kit that will allow you to map that key into oblivion. You could probably map it to be another ALT key, that shouldn't do much with an accidental press.
