Win2K, like its predecessor WinNT, by design, ignores the BIOS
settings for the NumLock key as a standard security feature. (I'm
afraid I can't remember the "security" issue initially addressed.) By
default, the NumLock key is turned off as Win2K starts, and remains
off until someone logs in and initializes a user profile. Win2K will
remember the NumLock's last state, meaning that if you log out with
the NumLock on, it will automatically turn on the next time you log
in; If you log out with the NumLock off, it will be off the next time
you log in.
