This is a wonder if it can be done request.

I have a Microsoft Office Keyboard that has a bunch of special I-net keys and also has a dual function for each of the standard function keys (F1 - F12). There is an "F Lock" button that locks the function keys to the default functions rather than the special secondary functions. By default the function keys are disabled and the special secondary functions are enabled. My question is this.

I would like to "enable" the 'F Lock' key on this keyboard at start up. I know how to enable, for instance, the NUMLOCK key at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Keyboard - InitialKeyboardIndicators. Is there a relationship here?

I see the F Lock key's indicator flash on and off at start up so something is controlling it. Anyone have any suggestions how to figure out if there is a reg key that will have it enabled?

Any help appreciated.
