I have Windows XP SP2 on a new Desktop. One user's NUMLOCK is on at startup.
The other user's NUMLOCK is off. REGEDIT setting is at 2. Can't get
suggested script file to solve problem. Help

Check for a BIOS setting. In addition:

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}"

Thanks Kelly. Problem is solved. I only knew of one REGEDIT setting. After
having both set at 2, then restarting PC, NUMLOCK was on as intended. Thank
you very much.
