Are there any good books or websites or pointers?

I want to learn about the registry and related things

Thanks

Si

 

Have a look at the Windows Registry Guide, which used to be Regedit.com. I've used this site in the past and it's been pretty useful.

Cheers,

had a quick look! seems real good cheers mate

now to solve annoying num lock being off booting up

I gave you in-depth registry instructions for the numlock switch for all users, including a bitmap showing the location in the registry and the value to modify and what to modify to! Good luck mate, as if you can't figure it out from that, then your machine is in for a whole heap of trouble!

Sheesh, I give up........

shame, like i told you.I have the exact settings as your bitmap nick!!

 

B4 you **** your registry settings, go into BIOS & check that NUM LOCK ON @ boot is set to YES...

No use telling you're OS to do this if your BIOS says otherwise

 

PTMW, I disagree, the BIOS comes before the OS in bootup (obviously) and hence it's the OS which has the sayso in the NUM lock type capacity.
Set the NumLock in NT/W2K/XP and it'll work, in fact Super_si when you find the registry key, let us/me know I need to apply the same fix to my laptop.

 

right think its just current_user, control panel, keyboard, then think 2ns option set too 2.

OK girls, here you go:

Strange Si, as that is exactly what I showed you in the bitmap and told you to do.

Puff, like Miles said, the bios numlock activation has nothing to do with the 2K/XP one. You can see 2K/xp actually switch it off during loading.
