Hi Lakio,

open regedit
HKEY_Users\.Default\Control Panel\Keyboard    Change the value data for "InitialKeyboardIndicators" to 2

this will make sure it is turned on but i am not sure how to stop it being turned off....

Numlock is not a Windows-based action. It is a basic kbd function, and I don;t think there is anyway to stop it from being switched on/off - except by physically breaking the key on your kbd.

You can set this in your BIOS, there is a setting for Boot NumLock On/Off or something similar...

No, the bios only controls NumLock on/off at boot up - it doesn't stop you changing the status of numlock after boot.
