Keyboard Layout

[JimmyJingles]

I hope I am in the right place...

I need the ability to automatically add "United States-International" to the keyboard layout in Installed Services in the Regional and Language Options in the Control Panel through a registry change or batch file.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks!

This may or may not be of some use.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

; Adds United States-International Keyboard Layout
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layouts\00020409]
"Layout File"="KBDUSX.DLL"
"Layout Id"="0001"
"Layout Text"="United States-International"
"Layout Display Name"="@%SystemRoot%\\system32\\input.dll,-5026"

Thanks for the suggestion.

I already had the actual key (00020409) in the registry, I was just wondering if there is anyway to automatically enable the United States-International keyboard layout in the Control Panel, without having the user have to do it.

Thanks again!

You may wish to study these keys too

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload]
"1"="00020409"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Substitutes]
"00000409"="00020409"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Substitutes]
"00000409"="00020409"

Thanks for your help again.

These reg settings are great, but it still will now enable to US International layout automatically if I apply this reg key to someone's machine.

I guess there my not be a way to automate this process. I will still keep digging.

Thanks again!

I want to do the same. We've got users that have the wrong input language and keyboard layout.

They must have 'Dutch (Belgian) -> Belgian (Period)'

I tried this but it didn't resolve anything

I need this to apply on every user on the machine.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload]
"1"="00000813"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Substitutes]
"00000813"

Can anybody helps me?

EDIT: Help modus is off I think . Neverthless i found it here http://www.msfn.org/board/file-to-be-run-o...ser-t88986.html
