This tool enables to change the state of NumLock without a full-keyboard.


==============================================================================
[1] Purpose
==============================================================================

In the default key assignment of MDI keyboard driver, POS, PROG, and so on 
are bound to the numeric keypad keys of full-keyboard. These keys generate 
different key codes according to the state of NumLock, for example, numeric key
code when Numlock is ON and cursor moving key codes such as "HOME" when Numlock
is OFF.

Windows NT, 2000, and XP hold the state of NumLock for each login session.
Therefore, if you temporarily connected a full-keyboard for a maintenance, the
state of NumLock of the full-keyboard is kept by Windows even after
disconnecting it.
And since NumLock key itself is not bound to MDI keyboard by default key
assignment, you cannot switch the state using MDI keyboard.

An application program might not work well if it assumes that NumLock is 
always ON (or OFF).

This tool enables to change the state of NumLock without a full-keyboard.


==============================================================================
[2] Operation
==============================================================================
To make NumLock ON, execute "NumLock.exe".
To make NumLock OFF, execute "NumLock.exe /OFF".

Copy NumLock.exe on the proper folder, and register it to Startup folder of 
Windows if you want to make NumLock always ON (or OFF).
