Regional Settings Problem On Windows XP

Hi,

I have a difficult Windows XP problem. How do I change the Regional Settings in Windows XP to use US English and a US keyboard layout BEFORE users log in? Here is some background on the problem.

The company I work for uses Fujitsu Siemens Computers shipped from Germany when a customer buys a system from me. Because the computer was built in Germany, the Regional Settings are set to United Kingdom by default. This causes headaches for my United States customers as the Regional Settings to US English/US Keyboard cannot be changed until AFTER a user logs in. If their password contains certain characters that the United Kingdom keyboards do not use, they cannot log in. In fact, after 3 failed log in attempts their account gets locked out. Then I get a nasty phone call.

I've searched the Microsoft Knowledge base and did various Google attempts to find out how to globally change the Regional Settings for everyone that logs in, but I have had no success. It appears that this can only be done AFTER a user logs in. Or I can just rebuild the operating system which I really don't want to do as soon as I show up on site (which gives my customer a bad first impression).

So, does anyone know how can I set the operating system to use US English/US keyboard for all users, including those who have yet to log in for the first time?

Thanks







I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
