Num Lock on, but the Num Lock LED off

Question

I want to have Num Lock on (be able to use the numbers), but have the LED indicator on my keyboard turned off. I don't know what way I want to do this (Autoit, AutoHotKey, C#...).

I found this link and tested the code from evl, but it doesn't seem to do anything for me.

Windows-only solution:

Just add the following remappings to your AutoHotkey script:

NumpadIns:: Send 0
NumpadEnd:: Send 1
NumpadDown:: Send 2
NumpadPgDn:: Send 3
NumpadLeft:: Send 4
NumpadClear:: Send 5
NumpadRight:: Send 6
NumpadHome:: Send 7
NumpadUp:: Send 8
NumpadPgUp:: Send 9
NumpadDel:: Send .

This way, no matter whether NumLock is on or off, pressing the numbers on the numeric keypad will always type the numbers (and . instead of Del).

Enjoy your light-free keyboard!

PS: You can find the key list on Autohotkey's Help (right click on your script's icon on the taskbar and click Help) under Usage and Syntax, Key List (Keyboard, Mouse, Joystick).
