Where does Windows 2000 and XP keep its information about country/regionand language in their registry?
Hello,
Where does Windows 98, 98 SE, and Me store their country/region and language datas in their registries? I am not having luck in determining what keys have these information. At first, I thought it was HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International\ with Locale, but I don't think this it. Basically, I just need to check the country/region and language what Windows is using via a software checker. This is for both English and localized operating systems. Thank you in advance. -- Phillip Pi Senior Software Quality Assurance Analyst ISP/Symantec Online Services Symantec Corporation www.symantec.com ----------------------------------------------------- Email: YMC (remove SYMC to reply by e-mail) ----------------------------------------------------- Please do NOT e-mail me for technical support.

Oops, forgot to change the title to 98 and ME since I posted in XP and
2000 newsgroups with similiar questions. On 5/30/2006 1:37 PM PT, Phillip Pi wrote: Hello, Where does Windows 98, 98 SE, and Me store their country/region and language datas in their registries?

I think you'll find that info is held in WIN.INI (at least as far as WinMe
is concerned) Mart "Phillip Pi" wrote in message ... Oops, forgot to change the title to 98 and ME since I posted in XP and 2000 newsgroups with similiar questions.

Basically, I just need to check the country/region and language what Windows is using via a software checker. This is for both English and localized operating systems. Thank you in advance. Win98SE writes these settings to win.ini. It also stores them in the registry at these keys: [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\International] "Locale"="00000C09" HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Nls\Locale I notice that if I change the currency symbol, say, for my selected region (Australia) to something other than the default, this choice is recorded as follows: [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\International] "Locale"="00000C09" "sCurrency"="€" The above example is the result of changing from a $ symbol to the Euro. BTW, you can determine where in the registry certain settings are stored by comparing the registry before and after you make the changes. - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email. |

To go along with Franc's final comment, there is a software program named
RegView that will take a snapshot of your registry. You can then make changes and RegView will compare the current registry to the snapshot and identify everything that has changed. http://www.regview.com/regview/ -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "Franc Zabkar" wrote in message ...
