Comment: How can you stop the Padlock on a laptop from starting? I can hit the FN and F9 to turn it off but I know the laptop can start with this feature off since we have 100's and this is the only one that starts with the padlock on.

Reply: (edit)Hi,
My Gateway laptop just started to do that, but only in one account (the admin account).
I get the feeling that the solution is in the registry, but I can't find it. Other problems with that account are that the customizations don't "stick" anymore. I think that that may indicate registry corruption, but the MS registry fixer doesn't do anything for me.
I'll keep looking. I'd hate to have to do a reinstall or even a repair install, but it may be the only way.
