Here's a strange one for you .... I've just finished rolling-out a standard build to 12 Dell Latitude Laptops. On one of the machines, the NumLock persists in lighting-up, resulting in a non-valid password etc ... I've ensured that the Registry settings are set to 2, and I've even added an extra string to set the NumLock Off .... And then as you exit Windows, the numlock light comes on again ... Upon checking the Registry again, the InitialKeyboardIndicator value has changed itself back to a value of Zero ... !!!????

Wierder than wierd ...

Cheers,
Bry

Yeah, did that first .... All the machines are identical, except this one appears to have a mind of it's own ....
