Num Lock key upon startup
I have an NT Workstation when it boots up it always has the Num Lock key by default. We had a computer store take the machine to work on it and when it came back the Num Lock key does not stay on by default. How do I change it so that I don't have to press the Num Lock key every time I start the computer!
G0LIATH, BIOS didn't help, 'cause NT has its own opinion how
to set NumLock.
Following works (sometimes):
login as user
switch on NumLock
logoff (not shutdown!)
If you use server-based profiles (ntuser.dat), make shure that
you have a connection to your DCs.

Fancy, I might be able to help. reject the answer if it's not helping
Hi,
the following registry-entry sets the numlock on at every startup:
find
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Keyboard
and change the InitialKeyboardIndicators value from 0 to 2

cbo, sound that this is the same as my suggestion ;-)
Of course, you have to change in the HKEY_USERS/.DEFAULT also if you want it to change it also at logon !!!

This workstation is connected to a NT Server that runs a login.bat
The num lock will be on while the computer boots up but as soon as
the user logs in it goes away!
