SetLocale will not work

[thorntonb]

Does anyone have any problems setting the regional setting on a PC using the SetLocale method?

I have a bunch of PC's that I need to change the regional settings on to Regional setting English-Ireland. The PC's are presently set to English-US. I have tried manually setting the PC's to English-Ireland and everything works a treat.

I want to write a VBScript to change the regional settings bu am having no luck with this..

I have run the following code to change the settings for testing purposes.....

MsgBox GetLocale ' Returns 1033
SetLocale SetLocale("en-ie")
MsgBox GetLocale ' Returns 6153


But it does not change the locale settings as it should anyone any ideas???

if not is there a way to use rundll32.exe to call intl.cpl so that at least if I can detect that the settings on the PC are US I will be able to launch tihe control Panel CPL so that users can maunal change it themselves?

Yu can change this by modifying the registry.

Download a copy of a program called RegSnap. Use it to take a snapshot of your registry. Then make a change manually for the localle and take another snapshot. The program will then be able to compare the two snapshots and tell you what changed. Once you have that scripting it is easy.

The localle is set with a number not with the actual text.
You will find the codes that you need in the registry under:

HKCR\MIME\Database\Rfc1766
