This may sound like a dumb question but is there an easier way to turn off the make sure that the num lock is ON when you boot up . I have been editing the registery dor this problem on our NT stations and it is annoying. I have already done it in the BIOS but NT always shuts it off.

Another Registry option:

On default installation on NT systems, the NUM-LOCK is off (disabled) each and every time the computer botts up. This is a registry patch that will put the NUM-LOCK into the on (enabled) state at boot. Be careful inthe registry!

1) Run the Registry Editor - REGEDT32.EXE.

2) Go to HKEY_USERS\.Default\Control Panel\Keyboard

3) Change the value for Initial KeyboardIndicators from 0 to 2.

'Tis done! The system will boot NUM-LOCK on!

Regards,

Depending on the BIOS of the PC {Award, AMIBIOS, or Phoenix}one of the screens you can change the NUM LOCK to always "on" during bootup.
