<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I'm looking for a registry change that will force the NumLock key to be always ON, and that a user can't change. &nbsp;I have a registry setting that will force numlock to be always OFF. &nbsp;Here's the setting: 
 
In HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout 
I added a key called Scancode Map (REG_BINARY) and added the following value: 
 
00 00 00 00 
00 00 00 00 
02 00 00 00 
00 00 45 00 
00 00 00 00 
 
 
I'd like to use the same approach to make the NumLock key always on. 
 
Thanks.

Force NumLock always on using registry

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
