MS MM kb 1.0 Qs

Well, Google found <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.mvps.org/jtsang/flock.html" target="_blank">http://www.mvps.org/jtsang/flock.html</a> for me, which does
the F Lock key for the MS MM keyboard. Seems to be the same principle as
Ben's fix. Still looking out for the NumLock equivalent though. Thanks.

I found it in the registry, in HK_USERS, default, control panel, keyboard.
InitialKeyboardIndicators has a range of settings from 0 - 7 which set
numlock, caps lock, and scroll lock to initial states. I just wish it
extended to F Lock.

0 - all indicators off
1 - Caps Lock on
2 - Num Lock on
3 - Caps Lock and Num Lock on
4 - Scroll Lock on
5 - Caps Lock and Scroll Lock on
6 - Num Lock and Scroll Lock on
7 - Caps Lock, Num Lock, and Scroll Lock on


Now my problem is that the Insert key is on the same button as PrtScn/SysRq;
with F Lock on I can't use shift-INS to paste from clipboard. Dammit, I use
that all the time. Why couldn't they just leave things alone
