Go to Start/Run and type regedit and press OK.
Navigate to the following key.
HKEY_USERS\.Default\ Control Panel\Keyboard
In the right side window, you will see the value InitialKeyboardIndicators
Double click this value and set the Value Data number to 2 and click OK.
Exit regedit and reboot.

Ted & Squire, XP routinely ignores the bios setting for the Num Lock key.
See Ronnie Vernon MVP's post later to see how to correct this XP "quirk".
XP will normally restore on boot the "last known" setting when shut down but
not always.

Thanks for that info. I've never had a problem with NumLock staying on with
any XP computer I've used, so never learned about the "quirk".

WinXP, like its predecessors WinNT and Win2K, by design, ignores
the BIOS settings for the NumLock key as a standard security feature.
(I'm afraid I can't remember the "security" issue initially addressed.)
By default, the NumLock key is turned off as WinXP starts, and keeps
it off until someone logs in and initializes a user profile. WinXP will
remember the NumLock's last state, meaning that if you log out with the
NumLock on, it will automatically turn on the next time you log in; If
you log out with the NumLock off, it will be off the next time you log in.
If one needs the NumLock on _before_ logging in, a registry edit
can be used to change WinXP's default behavior:
