Enabling the NumLock Key 
 
By default, Windows 2000 doesn't enable the NumLock key when a user initially logs 
on to a Windows 2000-based system--and even if the user turns on NumLock, Windows 
2000 turns it off again whenever the user logs off. You can make the NumLock key 
stay on by changing the Registry. Note: You need to either log on as the user or 
have the user log on and edit their Registry remotely. To turn on the NumLock key, 
set the following Registry value to 2:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Keyboard\InitialKeyboardIndicators

By default, Windows 2000 sets the InitialKeyboardIndicators value to 0 (which turns 
the NumLock key off).

You can turn on the NumLock key in the default profile so that every new user who 
log in to a computer has NumLock enabled by setting the following Registry value 
to 2:

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard\InitialKeyboardIndicators
