Windows, by default, loads the computer with “NumLock” selected and “CapsLock”/”ScrollLock” unselected. To change this behavior, go to Start -> Run -> regedt32 -> HKEY_Current_User -> Control Panel -> Keyboard and set the value of “InitialKeyboardIndicators” to the sum of the values of the options that you wish to choose: 0 for no default locks, 1 for caps lock, 2 for num lock, and 4 for scroll lock. For example, if you wished to start Windows with the caps lock and the scroll lock key both enabled by default, you would press type in “5″ for the value. For the new configuration to take effect you must login to Windows again.
