NUMBER LOCK

[F. Lawrence Kulchar]

I know there is a way to have the Number Lock automatically turn on when
booting up the computer.

Anyone can help me as to the proper values to enter and where in regedit??

Thanks,

Should not really be necessary to edit the Windows Registry. First,
make sure that the Numlock is enabled in bios setup for the computer.
Next, when turning off the computer, make sure that the Numlock light
is on. The next (and subsequent) time that Windows starts, Numlock will
be on. The change to the Registry is made intrinsically.

Depends on when you want it on. For Login:

By default, the NumLock key is turned off as WinXP starts, and
keeps it off until someone logs in and initializes a user profile. WinXP
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 WinXP's default behavior:
