If you have two user profiles, you can alter a setting in the registry, unique for
you and your wife.
Under HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control panel/Keyboard you should have a string value called
"InitialKeyboardIndicators". If not, create it. Then, to set the Num Lock to On,
edit the value, and set it to "2". This will do the trick. If yuor wife logs in,
and her NumLock happens to be on, just edit the data while she's logged in, and set
it to "0". These setting will never collide, and mess it up for eachother.
