After banging my head on the wall many times about this, going through all the suggestions
posted above didn't help. I checked all the registry "InitialKeyboardIndicators"
entries were set to "0", I deleted the user profiles from the "Document and Settings"
so that they are recreated and everything started fresh AND STILL the Numlock came
on at Logon.
However, eventually I figured out that I had a group policy buried somewhere in my
domain controller's Active Directory running a vbs script to turn on the numlock...
DUH! I forgot I had added this a long time ago to my Active Directory so I just restricted
the username that logs on to the laptops so that the policy doesn't apply to that
user. However, I want the other users on regular desktop computers to have Numlock
on automatically. But for the laptop user, adjusting the group policy properly took
care of this annoying problem.
I just think this is something to look at in case anyone of you has a domain environment.
