re: Question about 'Force NumLock to Behave' Sunday, April 24, 2005 at 12:21 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Mike Jankowski (3 messages posted) Hi Guys, If I understand your dilemma correctly, you need to set another registry key as desired. Here's how it works; (Unless you have 3rd Party Keyboard Software Installed) After Bootup and Before Login, Windows reads the HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard\InitialKeyboardIndicators because there is no user logged on. (0=Off, 2=On) After Logon, Windows Applies the setting from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Keyboard\InitialKeyboardIndicators (0=Off, 2=On) This setting is stored independantly indside each user profile, and the state from the Windows Session is saved at logoff. This means if you turn your NumLock on, a value of 2 is written at logoff, and NumLock will be toggled on at next login. Hope this helps.
