Num Lock off on startup

[Sheila]

How can I keep the num lock on when I boot up my
computer? I can turn it on, but when I reboot, it goes
off again. It's irritating when I log in with my
password and it's using the arrow keys instead of numbers
until I realize the num lock is off!

Hi Sheila,

Go to: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY CURRENT USER\Control Panel\Keyboard\
InitialKeyboardIndicators

0 = numberlock off
2 = numberlock on

If you want the numlock on at the welcome screen you also need to change:

HKEY USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard\
InitialKeyboardIndicators same number values as above.

Or...

Set Numlock State On or Off at Startup (Line 4)
