Force NumLock from boot-on

[Bruck]

Looking for some kind of reg hack to turn on numlock from boot.

Why not do what has been done for about 20 years? Turn NUM LOCK on in BIOS. That's where the toggle is. ????

Google is your friend.

Registry Settings
User Key: [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard]
Value Name: InitialKeyboardIndicators
Data Type: REG_SZ (String Value)
Value Data: 0 = NUMLOCK is turned off after logon, 2 = NUMLOCK is turned on after logon

I need numlock to be on BEFORE log in, during novell login, i want to have numblock on, i have the reg hack you mentioned but it doesnt effect the before login part.

Thanks

it is on in bios and it comes on after login, but not during novell login prompt.

regedit>HKEY USER>.default>control panel>keyboard> there is a setting in here that needs to be set to 2.

This solved the problem.

Which setting?

I hate having to hit Numlock when I login to the domain.

I have Numlock turned on in BIOS and the reg hack, but neither works. After I log in it comes back on.

Clarification.

HKEY_USERS>.DEFAULT>CONTROL PANEL>KEYBOARD. Initial keyboard indicators needs to be set to 2
0 = nothing
1 = caps lock ON
2 = num lock ON
3 = CAPS AND NUM
