If you're talking about it switching the NUMLOCK on at the logon prompt, try this. Toggle the NUMLOCK lamp off using the NUMLOCK key. Restart. Next time the machine comes to the logon prompt it's got the NUMLOCK off. My WinXP-Pro machine started turning the NUMLOCK on at boot (and when shutting down - the clue!) after desktop support installed an application that required a LONG registration number be punched in. I suspect they used the NUMLOCK on that priveledged account, the same that's used at the logon prompt?! Changing the NUMLOCK at the prompt and restarting reset it. At least, that's my theory. I'm no big Windoze whiz. Just a determined button pusher :)
