Re: Num Lock Key



Go to: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY CURRENT USER\Control Panel\Keyboard\
InitialKeyboardIndicators

0 = numberlock off
2 = numberlock on

If you want the numlock on at the welcome screen you also need to change:

HKEY USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard\
InitialKeyboardIndicators same number values as above.

Or...

Set Numlock State On or Off at Startup (Line 4)

I have the edit for download here:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_n.htm#numlock

Create a vbs file and put it in the start folder:

set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.SendKeys "{NUMLOCK}"

Can anyone tell me where (and how) to set the num lock key to already be
on,
after shutting down the computer or coming out of standby?
Win XP Professional, some of the new computers in my office already stay
on,
but mine and a couple of others that are also new, dont keep it on.
