    W10 Make NumLock Permanent

    Hi Rick, I came back to say that AHK works very well. I am a little confused, is there a way to set up AHK to automatically run my script every time the computer is started? The directions seem to say that is possible but there are no details. Thanks for your help!

    W10 Make NumLock Permanent

    Hi Rick, I will try that however I was hoping for something that doesn't have to run all the time which just will add to the things that slow the machine down. Unless AutoHotkey uses very little overhead. Any comments?
