<string id="CustomLocalesNoSelect">Disallow selection of Custom Locales</string>
<string id="CustomLocalesNoSelect_Help">This policy prevents a user from selecting a supplemental custom locale as their user locale. The user is restricted to the set of locales that shipped with the operating system.
Note that this does not affect the selection of replacement locales. To prevent the selection of replacement locales, adjust the permissions of the %windir%\Globalization directory to prevent the installation of locales by unauthorized users.
Note that "Restrict user locales" can also be enabled to disallow selection of a custom locale, even if this policy is not configured.
If this policy is Enabled, then the user cannot select a custom locale as their user locale, but they may still select a replacement locale if one is installed.
If the policy is Disabled or Not Configured, then the user may select a custom locale as their user locale.
If this policy is Enabled at the Machine level, it cannot be disabled by a per-User policy. If this policy is Disabled at the Machine level, then the per-User policy will be ignored. If this policy is Not Configured at the machine level, then restrictions will be based on per-User policies.
To set this policy on a per-user basis, make sure that the per-machine policy is set to Not Configured.

<string id="Y2K">Century interpretation for Year 2000</string>
<string id="Y2K_Help">Determines how programs interpret two-digit years.
This setting specifies the largest two-digit year interpreted as being preceded by 20. All numbers less than or equal to the specified value are interpreted as being preceded by 20. All numbers greater than the specified value are interpreted as being preceded by 19.
For example, the default value, 2029, specifies that all two-digit years less than or equal to 29 (00 to 29) are interpreted as being preceded by 20, that is 2000 to 2029. Conversely, all two-digit years greater than 29 (30 to 99) are interpreted as being preceded by 19, that is, 1930 to 1999.
This setting only affects the programs that use this Windows feature to interpret two-digit years. If a program does not interpret two-digit years correctly, consult the documentation or manufacturer of the program.</string>
