I have two indentical computers running win2000
porfessional. 1 always turns on the num loc all by itself
at boot up, and also at logon, the other does not. what
must I change to get the 2nd computer to turn the num loc
on at boot up or logon.
 
Windows NT ignores the bios on this issue.
Set the Reg_Sz string value of
"InitialKeyboardIndicators"="2"
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard
will set the numlock to "On" when no one is logged on. May need to restart
for effect.
 
Thanks a million Dave! Life just got a bit better.
