You need read no further. I have the fix. Instead of messing with all those icky
registry keys, there is a simpler solution. (prepare to bang head on wall)
to permenently change the NumLock state at startup simply put NumLock in the state
of preference (On/Off) and then, when you log off, instead of using Start/Log Off,
Press "Ctrl + Alt + Del", and click on Shut down, and click Log Off from the drop
down menu. This PERMENANTLY sets the NumLock state at Startup.
(At lest it did on my Dell 3000 w/ XP Home Ed.)
"Ctrl + Alt + Del" the Key Combo of 102 uses :-)
