Your solution to the Force Numlock Key to stay on is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. I have done
some testing after doing some research on the internet. I did found out that HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control
Panel\Keyboard\InitialKeyboardIndicators because there is no user logged on. (0=Off,
2=On) is before LOGON.
Then HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Keyboard\InitialKeyboardIndicators (0=Off, 2=On)
is after logon.
But I am unable to make changes to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Keyboard\InitialKeyboardIndicators
after I read your posting here.
This section
This section "This setting is stored independantly inside 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" is very helpful.
Thank you Mike Jankowski

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.
