NumLock Turn on at logon

One has to assume that Microsoft doesnʹt know everyone actually turns it on, which should be reason enough for what acts as ʺdefaultʺ. Instead of having it off as default.

You can alter this two ways one with a run a script at logon to turn NumLock on.

Or in the Windows Registry to change this behaviour.

1. T o enable NumLock through the Registry:

Go to :‐

START > RUN, in the box type without the quotes ʺREGEDITʺ.

Scroll to:‐

HKEY_USERS\.Default\Control Panel\Keyboard.

Change the value for InitialKeyboardIndicators from 0 to 2. 2. To enable NumLock using a script, see this MS Knowledgebase article for complete instructions, it is very composite and to save space and my typing follow the link :‐

Option 1 is the quicker method.

However, if you have more than one user on your system, and one or more donʹt want NumLock on (For whatever personal reasons which escape me).

Then Option 2 is the one you want since it allows you to only attach the script to specific users.
