win2k question

[larry]

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

Sounds like a bios tweak. Try editing bios and enable num lock

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.

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

[hareball82]

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

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
