How To Force Num Lock On

Klass
For a long time my computer would never boot up with Num Lock on, or at least, it would never stay on once it hit the Windows Logon screen. I lived with it for a while just because I was lazy and didn't want to fool around with it.

But then I just made myself fix it and this is the solution if any of you want it.

Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

QUOTE
Description
Series of registry changes to control caps lock, num lock, and scroll lock.

Directions
Here is a little guru trick that often gets me brownie points around the office. Using this registry change, it is easy to set the state of the scroll lock, num lock, and caps lock keys upon bootup.

Open the registry and goto:
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard

Change the value of InitialKeyboardIndicators to whichever state you wish...

0 - Indicators off
1 - Caps Lock on
2 - Num Lock on
3 - Caps Lock on and Num Lock on
4 - Scroll Lock on
5 - Caps Lock on and Scroll Lock on
6 - Num Lock on and Scroll Lock on
7 - Caps Lock on, Num Lock on, and Scroll Lock on


Close regedit.... and reboot.

ps. I have no idea where I got this from but it was not Microsoft hence why it is in quotes

that shouldn't be hard. Speaking of NUM LOCK:

For KDE users go to control panel --> peripherals --> keyboard then change your default setting from leave unchanged to Num Lock On.

I also think some BIOS versions have a setting for Num Lock, Caps Lock and Scroll Lock on boot up, especially on laptops. Although I would not advise accessing the BIOS to any unexperienced users as you may render your computer unusable.

    total force exceeds the current GeForce 8800GTX in every possible aspect. Check the power usages of
    both cards: - amdti fx 12000 uses 75watts of total power - geforce 8800gtx uses 150watts of total
    power This is surely a good point in keeping the gpu's cooler and running them more
    efficiently. The size of the core is also very small compared with the 8800gtx: - amdti fx 12000
