Windows XP leaves the NumLock key off on boot up. This is somewhat of a
hassle when typing in a password containing numbers. Is there any way to
change it so that the NumLock key is turned on when the machine boots up?

Thanks

Click start--run--type in regedit--OK and Go to
HKEY_USERS\default\controlpanel\keyboard and set keyboard indicator to 2.
