Like Ann said in her original question, changing the value of InitialKeyboardIndicators under HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard from 0 to 2 worked for me, but only initially at bootup -- once Windows XP loaded, it would off and stay off until I turn it on myself. So I tried the VB script mentioned in MSKB article Q314879, but that didn't work for me either. Finally I tried Jeff's suggestion of searching for additional registry entry instances of InitialKeyboardIndicators -- I found several instances, and changed the 2 or 3 instances that had a value of 0 to 2, and this finally worked for me.
