  So, now that I'm up and running with 2000, I had an interesting
problem last nite.

  I use a USB keyboard with my T21 at work. Accidentally, I hit the
NumLock key on that keyboard before I left for home. Later that night,
I went to use it, and the NumLock light was on. Thus making it useless.

  Even wierder is the fact that if I log out as me, and log in as
Administrator, the NumLock is off. And if I log in as me again, it comes
back.

  I dug through a bunch of documentation, both for Win2000 and the T21,
and I can't seem to find references as to how to turn it off, wither
through a keyboard shortcut, or a registry value.

  Of course, I come into work today, hit NumLock on the USB keyboard, and
all is well.

  Any ideas?
