In the past with less up to date keyboards the numbers and arrows were as one key. So therefore the Num Lock key was used so people could use one or the other.

I guess makers of keyboards forgot to take it off the updated keyboards!

What else can I help you with?

Is it necessary to leave Number Lock ON all the time?

No, you don't have to have NUM LOCK on on your PC. On early 88-key keyboards, the numeric keypad also functioned as the cursor movement keys. You would turn NUM LOCK on to use numbers, and off to use the arrow keys. Now with separate arrow keys on the modern 102 key keyboards, there is no reason to turn it off.

What does the lock with a nine in it mean on your computer?

The key containing a lock symbol with the number 9 in it is a "number lock key". It's usually displayed on the keyboard and is lighted when number lock or "num lock" is activated. When number lock is deactivated, your number pad becomes a direction pad containing arrow keys, page up/down keys, and home/end keys for cursor movement. This was before keyboards came with dedicated arrow keys. Many "old school" users still use the number pad for directional movement, however, there usually is no need with a dedicated arrow pad and mouse functions.
