Setting Caps Lock & Num Lock Status on startup

By Alfred | Comments (0) | Trackbacks (0)

Every time I start windows the NumLock is always off. Since I usually set a number for my Windows password, its quite irritating to press the NumLock every time. So, today I will tell you how to set the status by editing your registry.

Please make sure you make a backup of your registry before editing it.

Click Start, then click Run
Open HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Keyboard
Select the String InitialKeyboardIndicators
Change the string value to the desired value as shown in the table below

String Value	Effect
0	All Keys Off
1	Caps Lock On
2	Num Lock On
3	Caps Lock & Num Lock On
4	Scroll Lock On
5	Caps Lock & Scroll Lock On
6	Num Lock & Scroll Lock On
7	All Keys On

Restart your computer to see the effects.
