Num Lock

I have Vista Home. How do I get the Num Lock to come on when I boot up.

Thanks, John

Might be a bios setting.
Do you know how to get into that when booting?

By default, the NumLock key is turned off as Vista starts, and
keeps it off until someone logs in and initializes a user profile. Vista
will remember the NumLock's last state, meaning that if you log out with
the NumLock on, it will automatically turn on the next time you log in;
If you log out with the NumLock off, it will be off the next time you
log in.

If one needs the NumLock on _before_ logging in, a registry edit
can be used to change Vista's default behavior (Article is about WinXP,
but works for Vista, as well):

Yes, I do. Hadn't thought of that. Will try.

Many Thanks.
