setting FLock and NumLock prefs

[quietguy]

Hi All

When my windows box starts up the FLock and NumLock are both 'off'

Is there any way I can change this so they are both on?

Not the F lock. The numlock remembers the position it was in at the time of
the last shutdown.

Hi David,

Change the Numlock Key to On/Off at User Logon

Jason Tsang has a couple of .REG files that will allow you to reverse the
default behaviour of the F Lock key or disable it.

One will change the default to "Off".

The other will eliminate the F Lock feature totally. This one I use!!
http://mvps.org/jtsang/flock-e.html

Both are Zips have an Undo.REG and a Readme.txt file with them.

Note that there are some caveats with using the scancode mapper. The
biggest of this is that it won't work for USB keyboards.

Thanks for the update and caveats.

Doesn't help you now but the newer keyboards remember the F-Lock state from
one boot to another. Like I said, not helpful now but it's something to
look forward to when you need a new keyboard.
