Windows NT Registry: A "Brave Attempt" to Control the State of the Numlock Key

The following Registry Keys must be Merged from a properly formatted *.REG file:

HKEY_USERS
    &bsol;&bsol;.DEFAULT&bsol;&bsol;Control Panel&bsol;&bsol;Keyboard
        &quot;InitialKeyboardIndicators&quot;=&quot;2&quot;

HKEY_CURRENT_USER
    &bsol;&bsol;Control Panel&bsol;&bsol;Keyboard
        &quot;InitialKeyboardIndicators&quot;=&quot;2&quot;

Note that InitialKeyboardIndicators is of type REG_SZ (string). It has been said that this procedure may not work as planned. The opinion here is that this setting does not force an "on" or "off" state. I assume that it is saving the state that the Numlock Key is in before the user logs off.
