Keyboard Numlock on Windows boot

This is a discussion about Keyboard Numlock on Windows boot in the Customization Tweaking category; I set my numlock status to On at boot in my BIOS. Now when Win2k boots, it turns the numlock off. Is this standard Win2k? Can I make it so that it will stay on at bootup?.

This is from Q123498:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Keyboard

InitialKeyboardIndicators: REG_SZ: NUMBER

Default: 0

This specifies initial values for keys. 0 means that NUMLOCK is turned off after the user logs on; 2 means NUMLOCK is turned on after user logs on. This value is set during log off or shutdown to preserve the state of the NUMLOCK key at that time.
