Num locks

[Guest computerkiller]

I have read the article on num locks and did what it said, but it does not

work. After boot the num locks come on then off. What else can I do?

Re: Num locks

 

To have numbers lock on at bootup:

Start---run---regedit---ok

HKEY_USERS\Default\control panel\keyboard

Set keyboard ind. to 2

Re: Num locks

 

Check for a BIOS setting. In addition:

 

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)

I have the edit for download here:

Create a vbs file and put it in the start folder:

 

set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

WshShell.SendKeys "{NUMLOCK}"

Start by telling us what you're trying to accomplish, perhaps?
