NUMLOCK after logging off

I want NUMLOCK to stay on after a logoff. According to
KB262625 "Windows preserves the keyboard state when a user
logs off. When a user logs off and then logs on again, the
NUM LOCK state is set to "off." "

My system will turn NUMLOCK off after a logoff. After
logging in it turns it back on. I have tried using a
script to turn NUMLOCK on at logoff but it runs before the
system turns it off.

There are no other scripts running. There are no policies
in place. This is a standalone machine that is pretty
much right out of the box.

According to http://www.jsiinc.com/suba/tip0000/rh0023.htm
it should run pretty much like the KB article said but
even though the registry entry is 2 it still turns NUMLOCK
off after a logoff.

I know I'm being anal but my passwords all have numbers in
them and that is just the way I am.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Set the Reg_Sz string value of
"InitialKeyboardIndicators"="2"
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard
will set the numlock to "On" when no one is logged on. May need to restart
for effect.
