Has anyone ever had the need to change the users default localle in Windows versions 98/2000/xp through the login script?

is this possible?

should I give up now?

ANY help would be greatly appreciated! [Confused]

That would be great [Embarrassed] )

I've found the registry keys that affect this but they seem to be dropped whenever I open an app that accesses the settings such as MS Word.

please e-mail the file to squidderz@hotmail.com

p.s. if you have an example of useage that would also be great.

much appreciated!!!

forgot the readme.txt:

With SetLocale you can preset a user's international settings. SetLocale is
designed for loginscripts, but might be used via the commandprompt or
shortcuts.

A keyboard layout name should be derived from the hexadecimal value of the
Language# identifier corresponding to the layout. For example, U.S. English
has a language identifier of 00000409, so the primary U.S. English layout is
named "00000409". Variants of U.S. English layout, such as the Dvorak layout,
are named "00010409," "00020409" and so on. You can manualy select a
different keyboard-layout trough Settings | International, and read the
corresponding keyboard-layout-id in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Substitutes

Example:

SetLocale 00000413 00020409

This will set Dutch language using US international keyboard.

mm...
it can be done in vbscript and tried with wmi but as I'm not wmi-quru, couldn't make it happen.

gave up at:
code:
$objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.")
$colOperatingSystems = $objWMIService.InstancesOf("Win32_OperatingSystem")

For Each $objOperatingSystem In $colOperatingSystems
? "-Locale:          "  $objOperatingSystem.Locale
$objOperatingSystem.Locale = "0409"
$objOperatingSystem.put
? "-Locale:          "  $objOperatingSystem.Locale
Next
get $
