Is there any way to disable the numlock key completely? I know how to turn it off using BIOS and within XP, but these options still allow a user to turn numlock back on. I would like to disable it completely. Any ideas?

Ok, Another one of Buzz's Tech tips.. BACK UP INFO BEFORE YOU EDIT THE REGISTRY. "Start" Button "Run" Type regedit Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Keyboard Layout Right click in right pane select New>Binary value Name it Scancode Map (Notice the Capitol letters) Right click on "Scancode Map" choose modify type as follows. (You dont need to type the space bar, just hit the numbers) 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 45 00 00 00 00 00 Next lets make the Numlock On or Off Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Microsoft Input Devices Right click on "Microsoft Input Devices" Choose New>Key Name it Keyboard (Notice the Capitols) Double Click the Keyboard to open it. Right click in the Right hand pane and choose: New>String Value Name it NumLock (Notice the Capitols) Double click to modify the "Numlock" Type ON if you want to have the numbers on Type OFF if you want to have the numbers off If this is too advanced for any of you Send me an email and I'll send over the Registry files so all you have to do is Double click on the files to make it work.. NOTE: You need to reboot to make these changes effective. ------ Get FireFox You'll be happy you did.
