Need Num Lock to stay OFF after Remote Desktop session. Whenever I
disconnect from a Remote Desktop session, the laptop style keyboard's Num
Lock on the remote computer gets toggled ON. With Num Lock on, I type
numeric characters when intending to type alpha characters. I tried
KB#154529 using a value of 0 or 1 without success. Anybody know the trick to
keeping Num Lock "off".

Thank you.

Pat, I have had the same problem. I think it results from my controlling the
remote laptop from my keyboard with a number pad and num lock on. Turning
off num lock seemed to fix it, but I haven't been able to fully test it yet.
Let me know if you have any success.
