Check this out, from microsoft website:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314879

Instructions work for 2k also, I've tested. If link should die, heres what you do:

Open notepad and copy/paste:

set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.SendKeys "{NUMLOCK}"

Then save file as "numlock.vbs" (in quotes to ensure that notepad doesnt automatically name it numlock.vbs.txt)

Then copy and paste the file (OR a shortcut to the file) numlock.vbs into C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start menu\Programs\Startup

This causes numlock to become enabled AFTER login (which is the only drawback, if you needed it on BEFORE the login window, for password purposes)

Hope this helped!
