Hi Paul,

Use regmon on XP Pro to find out about registry entries that change when you change date/time currency format.

Use reg.exe from bat file or make your application to change these registry entries to values that you need.

Regards,
Slobodan
PS:
Without API aproach you will most likely need to reboot computer to apply changes.
