NUM LOCK State at Logon Using a Logon Script How to Set

Windows preserves the keyboard state when a user logs off.

When a user logs off and then logs on again, the NUM LOCK state is set to ʺoff.ʺ

There may be times when you want to set the NUM LOCK state to ʺonʺ when a user logs on.

You can accomplish this using a script file that you can distribute at start‐up or through Group Policy.

To configure a script to change the NUM LOCK state, use the following steps:‐

Start Notepad.

Copy and paste the following data into the text file:‐

set WshShell = CreateObject(ʺWScript.Shellʺ)WshShell.SendKeys ʺ{NUMLOCK}ʺ

Save the file as Numlock.vbs. This creates the file with the .vbs extension.

__**NOTE:**__

The icon changes from a Notepad icon to a script icon.

If the icon doesnʹt change, the file was probably saved as a __text file.__

To change the icon, rename the file using the .vbs extension.

After you create the script, you can run the script at start‐up,

To configure the script to run locally using the Start‐up folder, copy the Numlock.vbs file to the userʹs startup folder that is normally found in the userʹs profile path.

To configure the script to run for all users, put the script in the Startup folder in the All Users profile.

The following example shows the default path for this folder:

Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
