FranceBB Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 Creating a new user didn't solve the problem as the new user still had menus in Italian. Out of curiosity, I opened up the register and I found a few another strings that needed to be changed: 1) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NIs\ There was a REG_SZ string called "0410" and I renamed it "0409". 2) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NIs\MUILanguages There was a REG_SZ string called "0410" and set to 1; I simply renamed it "0409". After rebooting, now many menus are in English even for my "old" account and for every new account as well. I hope it will be useful for other people in the future. p.s too bad the Recycle Bin will be "Cestino" forever xD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is, of course, off-topic (as this concerns XP), but it appears on Vista that feature is ON by default: [Provided merely as a FYI for others reading - I'm not on XP (any more), but still following this thread ... ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathwiz Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) Not perfect, though: the first menu option still calls my "Trash Can" the "Recycle Bin:" But if @FranceBB has the English menu now, it should be good enough; just rename the "Cestino" to the "Recycle Bin" and everything's in agreement.

jaclaz Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Well, if I had to tackle the issue I would have a (temporary) English install of XP, and from it extract to .reg file the whole: HKEY > CURRENT > USER > Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > ShellNoRoam > MUICache then do the same on the Italian one and compare the two files. jacla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranceBB Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) Done. Thanks! Now it really looks legit, including the logon and shutdown messages. Edited December 14, 2018 by FranceBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
