Disable Num Lock and Caps Lock

I have search everywhere for something that disabled Num Lock and Caps Lock, yet I can only find one or the other, not both.

Why? Because you only accidentally press those keys, and they mess up your typing.

Solution: disable_numlock+capslock.reg

Notes: You might want to set Num Lock to be on at boot:

If you open up HKEY_USERS\Control Panel\.Default\Keyboard

You will find the key named InitialKeyboardIndicators

If you set it to 2 (String Value) then numlock will be on at boot. A value of 0 will turn it off at boot.

    I have been trying to get my num lock to be on at startup, seems as if everyone says to just go to regedit and change the values but, my values are defaulted to be 2 in the InitalKeyboardIndicators but still when my computer starts up and is at the log in screen the num lock is not activated… Any other help or way i can make it work?

    Try:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Keyboard
    “InitialKeyboardIndicators”=”2″
