"Function-Key Lock"

[Robert]

My IntelliType Pro keyboard has an F-Lock key whose
setting is not saved on shut-down. It must therefore be
reset (if one remembers in time, Aarrg!) on boot-up.

How can I arrange that this key be set, with
F-light on, during the Windows startup sequence?
A Registry Key, perhaps? F-Key Lock is not in
the list of keys "modifiable" by means of the keyboard
software.

All assistance gratefully received. Thank you.

Jason Tsang MVP posted the following information on this problem.

"There is no way to programmatically control the state of the FLock key.

However, depending on your OS, you can reprogram the keys that F Lock
affects so that it appears that the F Lock state is flipped.
