Hi ya folks,

is it possible to change the regional settings eg. changing keyboard language from usa to uk ,on win2k but using the command line or via a batch file?

If anyone is able to help that would be great thanks

I don't think it is possible to actually change the settings. However you can call up the applet to change settings using the second link I gave.

Not sure if this will help or not:

HOW TO: Create the Regional and Language Settings for an Unattended Installation of Windows MultiLanguage Version

or maybe this:

hope this helps!

Of course the above is only a sample you will have to rewrite part of it for what you need (and also it is written for NT4 not Win2000 although there shouldn't be much, if any, changes).

hope this helps!
