For novice users do not try to modify your registry or bios. These are extremely
dangerous and could result in alot of unexpected consequences. There is a much simpler
and less dangerous way to get the num lock to be set at logon. In fact I would suggest
expert users use this as well. Just a few easy steps.
1. Turn off machine
2. Start-up machine
3. When Ctrl+Alt+Del prompt comes on make sure num lock is set to desired setting
(either on or off)
4. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del
5. Select Options button
6. Turn off Machine
Your done.
Next time you turn on the machine, right before the Ctrl+Alt+Del prompt comes on
the Num lock will go to your desired setting.
