Help with RegionalSettings

[pawls]

Hi,

I´m having trouble getting my RegionalSettings/Language set up the way I want it. Hopefully someone can give me some help or directions.

This is what I have:

This code:

[RegionalSettings]
LanguageGroup = 7,1
SystemLocale = 00000409
UserLocale = 0000041d
InputLocale = 041d:0000041d

gives me theese settings:

But I would like it to be like this:

What code would reproduce that?

Best, Hugo

Check out Localization: MUI and Regional Options (it's not in the guide menu yet. I beleive, all answers are there...

Added: sorry, I didn't realize you want to have Swedish kbd layout named as English. Hmmm... that's strange. Ok, I'll give you a clue. Here's how I replace standard Russian layout with an alternative one

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layouts\00000419]
"Layout Text"="Russian"
"Layout File"="KBD1251Y.DLL"

In this example, a different DLL is used. You just have to change English entry (00000409) and point it to the Swedish DLL and change the "layout text" accordingly.

I'd try:

[RegionalSettings]
LanguageGroup = 1
SystemLocale = 00000409
UserLocale = 0000041d
InputLocale = 0409:0000041d

The SystemLocale (for non-unicode programs) and UserLocale (for formatting standards) are not relevant to your specific query.

Thank you Vadikan!

Thank you Takeshi!

I´ll try Takeshis tip, if it works it´s a far more easier solution.

Why I want this keyboard/language setup is because I want all my applications being installed with english as default language, not swedish.

Is there any other tips/solutions to prevent other langages from being chosen by the applications?

I had the same problem trying to get rid of that US language option & to just keep UK.

here is how i did it.

setup $OEM$ folders on an XP CD.. see here for details http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/18/

once you have set these up create a txt file called cmdlines.txt & put this information in it.

[COMMANDS]

"regedit /s keyboard.reg"

put this file in the $OEM$ directory

now creat a file called keyboard.reg & put the following in it.

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload]

"2"=-

add this file also to $OEM$

At 12mins to go during the xp install it will remove the reg key from the default user profile removing the US option.

have fun.

This is how I achieve it too.

The only difference I see is in the reg file I specify the code for the keyboard layout I want to delete.

It worked!

[RegionalSettings]
LanguageGroup = 1
SystemLocale = 00000409
UserLocale = 0000041d
InputLocale = 0409:0000041d

...in combination with...

[COMMANDS]

"regedit /s keyboard.reg"

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload]

"2"=-

...did the trick!
