Is it possible to turn on/off numberlock with command prompt?
With command prompt, can I turn my number lock on or off? I'm hoping to do it with just one line, but I'm assuming I can't as that would have shown up in google.

If you search google for "utility to turn off num lock", you will get a good answer.
It is a command line tool, just a simple little exe, 'numlock.exe off'
Alternatively, there are dozens of code examples if you want to build your own application, using any number of free development tools :)

Google gave a few quick answers when I tried it, for example NUMLOCK.EXE and CAPSLOCK.EXE from this site:

Once installed, the relevant commands are:

There is no way to do it with standard Windows commands. With Win 95(?) you could use Windows to create an assembler file that would do the job, but I doubt very much that will work with current versions of Windows. See support.microsoft.com/kb/151715

Here is a good mash up for command prompt. Checks if the numlock is off, and if so turns it on.
If you want it the other way around, Change FALSE to TRUE in "FIND /I "FALSE">NUL"
