Default locale setting
Posted by Balaji V on April 21st, 2004


I have a server (win 2000) where users from multiple locales need to
log in. I have installed the locales and I am looking for a way to set
the default locale depending on the users. I have a way to identify
the user based on specific group memberships, but I am not able to
find a way to set a particular locale as default for the users.
Is there a registry setting (in HKCU or so) which will give me the
same effect as the user going into the regional settings and selecting
their locale and hitting 'set as default'. Thanks.

I don't know the answer, but here's how I would find out: run a
program that monitors registry changes, set the default locale, and
examine which keys were modified.

Here are a couple of registry monitoring programs:
