20942	2001-10-10 12:13:00	Any ideas how to set the numlock to on at startup in Winme? The numlock is on in CMOS and putting numlock=on in config.sys didnt seem to do anything. May be a reg setting? Suggestions gratefully received :-) cheers Graham	Guest (0)

In Windows ME you will have to edit the registry (Start / Run / type Regedit). To make this setting work, open your registry editor and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ ControlPanel \ Microsoft \ Input Devices. Right-click on Input Devices, then select New, Key. Name the new key Keyboard. Highlight Keyboard, right-click on it, then click New, String Value. Name it NumLock. Enter ON as the value to turn the NumLock key on or OFF to turn it off.	Guest (0)
