So does my Dell. I think it's a function of Windows, and not the hardware. As Windows
boots, whatever state the machine is in by BIOS setup changes if it was last different
for Windows.
I don't know how accounts work in Windows XP Pro, but apparently the one the machine
boots in is different (a login account?) from the one a user logs in with. If the
logged in user has their NUMLOCK ON, it doesn't appear to change the "login account".
Just based off my observations. I may be totally out to lunch...
Would be nice if Windows noticed there wasn't an external keyboard, and went with
the setup used last time it wasn't there. That's why it's an "annoyance".
