Why exactly is it...
-
...that Windows 2000 turns off Num Lock when it boots? :confused: (and how can I change this, I find it quite annoying)

I remember a bug where NT4 pre-sp3 did this too, but I haven't seen it since. Are you really sure you have numlock turned on when logging out, and the machine doesn't just crash on you? What about setting numlock to "on" in the BIOS?

Num Lock is turned up in the bios, and the LED does light up until Windows starts, and it gets turned off :confused:

It's kinda stupid really to have a script to run each time, just to turn a key on. Yes that happens to me as well, but NumLock turns ON straight away when I log on. Can't remember (if anythig) I set to make this happen Venet. -------- Black holes are where God divided by zero.(Steven Wright)

Thanks was helpful, but I still don't unserstand why Windows has to do it... I now noticied that it not only turns off num lock at boot, but also right after log on, and after log off (i.e. if I turn on numlock before logging on, it gets turned off again!! :wtf: )

It can be changed in the registry. I can't remember the exact key though

What's really absurd in all this is the first paragraph.
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 "off."In the first sentence you are told that Windows preserves the state. Wonderful idea. Then in the second sentence, it says, the state is set to "off". A complete reversal of the first sentence. Let me see know, person A wrote sentence one, person B wrote sentence two and person C was told to put the two together and publish it. Just CUBS and more of it. Chris
