Dell Inspiron 2600 - Number Lock Key - How can I have it not auto-set?

Featured Replies

Somehow the number lock key is automatically enabled on boot up of windows. It didn't do this before. I must have enabled it with a key stroke but have no idea how to disable it from auto-enabling itself. I have to disable it with the function key + F11 key to login to windows, then I have to do it again once windows is up. I find it annoying, anyone with a similar laptop happen to know how to stop it from doing this? I checked the bios but there isn't an option there.

Thanks in advance.


Well, its Windows related as most laptop BIOSes don’t have so much settings in general. Just do the following:

Run REGEDIT and go to HKEY_USERS\.Default\Control Panel\Keyboard -> InitialKeyboardIndicators, it’s set to 1, set it to 0.

Use any of the following values, depending on the combination of keys you want turned on or off:

0 - Turns off Num Lock, Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock

1 - Turns on Caps Lock

2 - Turns on Num Lock

3 - Turns on Caps Lock and Num Lock

4 - Turns on Scroll Lock

5 - Turns on Caps Lock and Scroll Lock

6 - Turns on Num Lock and Scroll Lock

7 - Turns on Caps Lock, Num Lock, and Scroll Lock

Exit the Registry. Restart and the new setting will take effect.
