Num locks

[computerkiller]

I have read the article on num locks and did what it said, but it does not
work. After boot the num locks come on then off. What else can I do?

To have numbers lock on at bootup:
Start---run---regedit---ok
HKEY_USERS\Default\control panel\keyboard
Set keyboard ind. to 2

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:

Create a vbs file and put it in the start folder:

set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.SendKeys "{NUMLOCK}"
