Keyboard Numlock on Windows boot

[Jrc384k 0]

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.
