When the computer boots up (before the operating system is loaded), the
Numlock settings are in the BIOS. After Windows boots, the BIOS Numlock
settings aren't used. The last state (on or off) is remembered by Windows
for the next time. So make sure Numlock is ON in your BIOS and turn it ON
(if it isn't already) when in Windows and Windows will remember that
preference.

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:
