Re: How to change regional settings (date format) from command line ?

A "kludge" way of doing it, no doubt, but one way that I can think of is by importing the settings to the registy.

It's a "per User" setting so it's held in the registry's HKCU key.

Look at: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International

You can use Regedit.exe and a .reg file to import the setting to the key. (regedit /s x:"\path to file\regfilename.reg") You can also push the .reg file by logon script or GPO.

I searched a little on this forum and I found "control intl.cpl" but
it just start the panel. I want something that does not require human
intervention, like some parameters that specify the format and it
automatically does the job ? Is this possible ? And how ? Thanks
very much !
