Hi Petey7, You, me and the rest of the computing world by the look of the google searches

Everyone would love to be able to turn it off. Why we even have a Num Lock key is beyond me. Who would want to turn their keypad off for heaven's sake? Sort of defeats the purpose of having one doesn't it?
In regard to richc46's "Enable/Disable Numberlock at Login" yes, 2 is the default but there is another setting 1 =
Disable Num Lock which is what we would like to be able to do. The registry entry can be changed to 1 but it won't hold - on computer restart it resets itself to 0.
Thanks for input Bill2. I'll check them out.
