Enabling caps lock on login to Win2k TS

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Our floor manager would like the caps lock to be set to ON when a user logs
in to the TS. I have tried the following solutions:

Changing the appropriate keyboard registry entry from 2 to 4

writing a VB script that turns on caps and num lock and running it in a
login script

writing a VB script that turns on caps and num lock and adding it to the
startup folder

Running a little piece of freeware called capslock.exe both from login
script and startup folder.

In each instance, the result is that the caps lock light comes on, the num
lock light goes off, and the keys become out of sync with the TS (caps off
when light is on, caps on when light is off).

In addition, if i login to the ts first, THEN run my script or the capslock
tool, the keyboard does NOT go out of sync, they work as expected.

I installed the MS hotfix for caps lock out of sync on TS with no results
(we are running some older sw on this machine). This is such a simple thing,
and it is making me crazy!

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!
