I have run into a problem getting the num-lock key setting to stick. On my
home machine, I am running Windows 2000 pro and it comes up with the
num-lock set as I want it. However, at work I have Windows 2000 server. That
machine keeps coming up with the num-lock turned off after a reboot. I
changed the registry setting at HKEY_USER\.DEFAULT\ControlPanel\Keyboard -
InitialKeyboardIndicators to be '2'. After the change it goes back to '0
like magic when I shut down. In desperation, I made the change and turned
off the power rather than going through shutdown (I know this is bad, but I
was desperate!). All seemed ok for at least one reboot. Then the same thing
started. I just can't get the num-lock to come on at boot up. Any help is
appreciated. I did try to set the registry as Administrator as well as my
own administrator level account with not difference.

Thank you for any suggestions.

Peter Shkabara, P.E.
