A way to always shift the number keys?

Question

Is there a way / app / registry tweak, on Vista, to have the row of numbers above the keyboard to always be shifted?

I am having little finger issues, so I would like to be using the numeric keypad for typing numbers, and not be constantly holding down the shift key for typing !"£$%^&*()
