Restrict the Language and Locale Region (Windows 2000/XP) Category: Home > Security > System
This restriction is used to set the language used in menus and dialog boxes in Windows and prevent users from changing it. When enabled the system disables the menus and dialog boxes in the Regional Options in Control Panel. Open your registry and find or create the key below. Create a new DWORD value called "MultiUILanguageID" and set it to a value from the table below to restrict the system to that language.
Restart Windows for the change to take effect. Note: If the language specified in this entry is not installed on the system Windows uses U.S. English.
Disclaimer: Modifying the registry can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. We cannot guarantee that problems resulting from modifications to the registry can be solved. Use the information provided at your own risk.
