Denney Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 I have a couple of questions about setting Regional Settings during setup...Here is my current RegionalSettings section of WINNT.SIF:[RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 SystemLocale=0c09 UserLocale=0c09 InputLocale=0c09:000004091. Is it possible to set your location (it defaults to United States)... I want to set it to Australia.2. Is it possible to set the short date format (from d/MM/yyyy to dd/MM/yy) and the date separator (from "/" to ".").3. Is it possible to remove the "English (United States)" keyboard layout... it defaults to installing, both, English (Australia) AND English (United States). It also sets the United States one as the default keybord.4. Is it possible to "Turn off advanced text services" automatically?Thanking you in advance.

Denney Posted July 2, 2004 Author Share Posted July 2, 2004 Forgot to mention. I also have:[GuiUnattended] TimeZone=260[TapiLocation] AreaCode=07 CountryCode=61 Dialing=ToneAll of those settings work as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Well, tell me as well about the solution to this.I've been looking for a way to do all these.Currently I carry out points 1,2,3 by setting the region to "Hindi" (I am in India).Here's my related section of winnt.sif:[RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=15,1 SystemLocale=00000809 UserLocale=00000439 InputLocale=0409:00000409 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piro Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Hello,You can achieve all your settings through a registry file with the required settings, and importing it through the cmdlines.txt file (e.g. regedit /s locale.reg).To create the required reg values, from a running Windows session, adjust the location and user locale and keyboard layouts to your liking and turn off Advanced Text Services, then open the regedit.exe and export the following keys:+ [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International] to say temp1.reg This will achieve 1 and 2+ [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout] to say temp2.reg This will achieve 3+ [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\CTF\Disable Thread Input Manager] to say temp3.reg Note: "Disable Thread Input Manager" is a value under the "CTF" key. This will achieve 4Now, combine temp1.reg, temp2.reg, and temp3.reg into one reg file say locale.reg and import it as mentioned above.@prathapmlI think you achieve only 2, notice he says location not user locale (format and standards), and from your answer file exerpt, you should end with English US as your default keyboard layout.piro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denney Posted July 2, 2004 Author Share Posted July 2, 2004 + [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout] to say temp2.reg This will achieve 3I take it I need to DELETE this key first otherwise the United States keyboard will still be installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
