    How to set Number Lock key to be permanently ON


    I have a Dell 17" 3000 series I7 laptop that works fine but for the fact is has no Number Lock light bizarre so you never know if the Number Lock is on or off. While the laptop always starts with Number Lock - ON, my poor typing often turns it off, only to find I'm typing somewhere in a document I didn't want to, which is very frustrating.


    I'm looking to either:

    1 permanently set the key to ON so that multiple pressing of the key will always cause it to be ON, or

    2 permanently disable the key as the BIOS presumably sets this key to ON upon start-up assuming such a permanent disabling still allows the BIOS to set it to ON upon start-up.


    Dell technical support couldn't help me and I'd prefer to tweak the BIOS or Windows, than try unproven add-on software.


    Any suggestions would be most welcome.

    :)

    num lock permanently on

    I would like Num Lock to be permanently ON. Even when I accidently hit the Num Lock key I would like it to stay on.

    Is there a way to enable this? ie. I don't want the Num Lock key do anything at all. I want to ALWAYS use the number pad for numbers. Never for arrows etc.
