larry Posted January 27, 2002 Share Posted January 27, 2002 I enter a password on win2k log on and it's all numbers. How can I change settings to make the num lock to be enabled every time? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roban Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 Sounds like a bios tweak. Try editing bios and enable num lock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truman Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 If you have num lock on when you shut down windows it should be enabled when you boot it up again, but i'm not sure if it is enabled before you log in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry Posted January 31, 2002 Author Share Posted January 31, 2002 I have a Compaq and couldn't find the option in bios to turn it off. I knew there was a reg. tweak in nt4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hareball82 Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 there's a key in the registry that keep does it. i think it was mentioned on here somewhere before, but i forget. and actually, i forget what the key is, but i know there is one :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Frost Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 As hareball82 stated its a registry tweak to enable the NumLock at logon open up regedit and goto HKEY_USERS.DefaultControl PanelKeyboard Then from there locate and change InitialKeyboardIndicators to a value of 2 NOTE: Before changing stuff in regedit always make a backup and case things go wrong As for what Truman sais works but it doesn't have the NumLock on before you logon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
