Auto scroll lock at login SCREEN

[csmith67]

Hey everyone! Bought the CM Storm Devastator keyboard and mouse bundle a while back and I'm tired of hitting scroll lock every time at the login screen. You can't see any letters without the LED's on so I want to make my computer turn it on automatically by setting scroll lock to start at the login screen BEFORE I actually login.

I've tried changing every value on initial keyboard indicators through regedit to 6 but they always revert back to 2. My BIOS has no boot option for scroll lock... only num lock. I've noticed that num lock is enabled through BIOS, but even the num lock doesn't come on at the startup. However, when I boot into my user num lock does come on.

I've searched a script:

Set wshShell =wscript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Dim i
i=0
do while(i<=0)
wscript.sleep 200
wshshell.sendkeys "{SCROLLLOCK}"
i=i+1
loop


and set a Task Schedule to run at startup and it did not work.

Does anyone have this keyboard and successfully got scroll lock to enable each time at STARTUP? The last resort I do not want to revert to is soldering two end points on the mobo to make this happen. It's just so annoying and such a simple thing that I want to happen, but I've been searching for hours...

Thanks so much to whomever contributes to this!

We're using the same script and its working for me.

Steps:

1. Copy your script on notepad then save it as vbs eg: cmstorm.vbs

2. Go to the windows startup folder C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup then copy the script here

Note: change the user to your username if your username is csmith67 it will be like this C:\Users\csmith67\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Will this work before I actually log in? I will try this when I get home. Thanks for your input.

It doesn't unfortunately. Even the execution of this script in start up is kinda delay like windows gadgets or anti virus. If you press the Scroll Lock to light up the key on windows log on to input your pin or pass the light will turn off on start up after the execution of the script.

Ok later on I'm going to open the keyboard up and solder these two points with a wire to make the LED always be on no matter what. May even add a switch if I want to turn it off. Thanks!
