prgm to set numlock to off at login ?

P

*ProteanThread*

do anyone know of a simple program that'll turn off caps lock, num
lock, and scroll lock (all LED's off) that can be run from users
startup folder (or HKLU)? for example, if numlock is on, it will turn
if off; if numlock is already off, it appears to do nothing (numlock
light stays off); however, it should not disable users ability to turn
these keys on and off (i want them defaulted to off when users login).
thx.

Please take a look at this page

on line 4, RIGHT COLUMN it has this VBS scipt
"Set Numlock State On or Off at Startup" It must work on win2k too (I think
thats
what your using now, right?)

Its NAGWARE.... LOL no.. just kidding.. (because of the recent john corliss
incident)
its a free VBS script.

This can often be switched off through the BIOS on your MoBo.

Sorry for not replying to the OP, but I missed this thread before cleaning
up my newsreader.

Look for "NumLock", "CapsLock" and "ScrollLock" here:

10 k zip /17 k exe
it may even work

caps and scroll should be off anyway, numlock is
usually a bios option

the leds actually have nothing to do with windows, windows may think them
off and act accordingly even if they are on, leds.exe just simulates a
keypress toggle
so may still leave windows and leds still out of sync
