Roger,
If you want to turn Numlock off when your wife uses the system I would recommend
doing the following.
1. Open notepad and type the following into a new doc.
set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.SendKeys "{NUMLOCK}"
2. Save this file as NUMLOCK.VBS
3. Copy this file into the startup group for your wife's profile so it gets executed
ONLY when she logs on.
4. Verify the BIOS is set to turn the Numlock on when booting.
Now, when the computer is booted up Numlock will be on and you can log in with it
on. If you wife logs onto the computer the NUMLOCK.VBS file will be executed which
will toggle the state of the numlock key therefore turning it off.
Problem solved and both of you are happy.
