I have Vista Home. How do I get the Num Lock to come on when I boot up.

Thanks, John

By default, the NumLock key is turned off as Vista starts, and
keeps it off until someone logs in and initializes a user profile. Vista
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 Vista's default behavior (Article is about WinXP,
but works for Vista, as well):
