How to set Num Lock on by default on all users, Is there a Group policy
setting?

Hi,

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)

change the bios setting to number lock on

That's no guarantee that it'll be on after Windows loads, and after a user
logs in.

The state can be changed at those times, and it won't matter what the bios
setting is (on or off)

That's correct, as the NUM LOCK state is preserved at logoff. If a user
toggles it off then next time they logon it will be off, period. This is
independant of BIOS settings on all machines I've looked at and it is
documented to be so.
