Depends on the computer. Some you have to set it in the BIOS.

If you're comfortable running scripts on your computer, MS has a script you can run to set Num Lock ON as default every time your computer starts -- if you're using WinXP. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314879

Or you can change the registry: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/154529

My Gateway standard keyboard has a NumLock key (above the "7" key on the numeric keypad and the indicator light stays on even after a reboot.

I use the keypad a bunch for Excel stuff and I didn't have to do anything but press the NumLock key once to lock it "ON" so tha the indicator light comes on and that's where it stays.
