Re: numlock

I Googled for "numlock off" and the first page had several 
promising-sounding hits with instructions on how to force Windows to boot up 
with NumLock off regardless of how the BIOS is configured.

The simplest solution (don't know which versions of Windows this will work 
with) was to add a line to c:\config.sys that looks like "NUMLOCK=OFF").
