Again. Wont do any good. Those fellas in the green van with the funky canvas jacket with the very long sleeves are just pulling up outside your place. Again.

And again, they were NOT wearing canvas jackets. Ok, they were, but their van was NOT green. I'm pretty sure of that.

I don't get it, because you haven't explained it very well, but my life is as "real" as anyone else's. You apparently want Num Lock off all the time, so you turn it off, then disable the key so you can't turn it on again (this can be done with a registry hack), and Windows remembers the "off" state. What's wrong with that as a solution to your problem? Or have I made some wrong assumptions? -- Long-time resident of Adelaide, South Australia, which may or may not influence my opinions. |
