1. Open Notepad or another text editor, and type (or copy and paste) the following text into a new document:
   set WshShell = CreateObject ("WScript.Shell")
   WshShell.SendKeys "(NUMLOCK)"
   
2. Save the file, naming it "numlock.vbs" and this time, include the quotation marks when you type the name so the file will have the .vbs extension instead of the default .txt extension (you'll know you did it right if the icon for the document changes from the text icon to a script icon).
   
3. Now copy the numlock.vbs file to your Startup folder, or if you want NumLock to be on for all users, copy it to the Startup folder in the All Users profile. The profiles are found in the Documents and Settings folder.
