How do I make win2000 turn on the number lock at boot

[tharris227]

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.

can be set by going into the bios at bootup and finding the
appropriate option

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.
