Hi guys. I am trying to write a script to change this value in the registry:

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard\InitialKeyboardIndicators

I am trying to change the InitialKeyboardIndicators value from 0 to 2 (it automatically turns the num lock key on when the computer boots up).
Anybody want to tackle it? Thanks!

set Wshshell = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
wshshell.RegWrite "HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard\InitialKeyboardIndicators" , 2, "REG_SZ"

you could do one even better!

read the key first

KeyVal = wshshell.RegRead("HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard\InitialKeyboardIndicators")

if Keyval <> 2 then
wshshell.RegWrite "HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard\InitialKeyboardIndicators" , 2, "REG_SZ"
end if

This way you only write the ky if it hasn't been changed already

Please remember to search the forum, there is a post only hours older than yours, with the same subject already posted.

Thanks Mike. I did look over other posts to check it out. I wouldn't have posted if I had found something to meet my needs. Thanks!
