My setup screen for my motherboard doesn't have an option for setting the
state of NUM LOCK when starting Windows. Is there a way to set that through
Windows 2000 or in the Registry?

For the current user set numlock to on, then log off. Windows 2000 will
save your setting.

Windows 2000 ignores the bios on this issue. Set the Reg_Sz string value of
"InitialKeyboardIndicators"="2"
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard
will set the numlock to "On" when no one is logged on. May need to restart
for effect.
