How would I set Windows 2000 pro to leave num lock on after restart or shutdown and start up. It is set in BIOS to come on. Is there a way to do this task.

Probably the easiest way for you to do this without editing the registry is to write a script that windows can run at logon.
1. start notepad
2. put the following data in a file:
set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.SendKeys "{NUMLOCK}"
3. Save the file as something like "numlock.vbs" (including the quotes)

Then, to run the script for all users copy the file to
Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

I hope that this has helped you to solve your problem.

To enable NUM LOCK before a user logs on,

1.Run Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).

2.Navigate to HKEY_USERS\.Default\Control Panel\Keyboard.

3.Change the value for InitialKeyboardIndicators from 0 to 2.
