Turn on Num Lock in Remote Desktop Client Apps
Here's a simple one, but not necessarily obvious.

If you're accessing a PC using Microsoft's Remote Desktop Client (or probably via VNC as well), then pressing the "Clear" key (above the "7" key) turns on / off num lock on a PC -- and you'll have to do this if you want to use the numeric keypad.

Turn on Num Lock in Remote Desktop Client

The question I have is: how do you enable this every time you connect to RDC, without having to press clear each time? MS should add a sw preference. The PCs BIOS is ignored here.
