Hi Chriss,

This is the template that I did but it still doesn't work :

CLASS USER
; This modifies the HKEY_CURRENT_USER portion of the registry
; the following command creates a node called Desktop Settings
; under User Configuration.
CATEGORY !!DATE

; the following command specifies the registry key to modify
KEYNAME "Control Panel\International"

; the following command specifies the name of the policy
; by using the variable "policyname"
  POLICY !!ShortDateFormat

; the following command specifies text on the Explain tab
   EXPLAIN !!DateExplain

; the following command creates a PART that contains a list box
     PART !!DateFormatDesc EDITTEXT REQUIRED

; the following statement specifies the registry value to modify
       VALUENAME "sShortDate"
     END PART
   END POLICY
END CATEGORY ; DATE

; the following strings section assigns character strings
; to the variable names specified in the previous section
[strings]
DATE="Control Panel"
ShortDateFormat="Short Date Format"
DateExplain="This policy set the format of the Short Date (Regional
Settings)"
DateFormatDesc="Please enter the date mask. For example MM-dd-yyyy"

The DOS still showing "mm-dd-yy" instead of "dd-mm-yyyy". Anything that I
missed ?

Thank you.
