That looks cool -- but I just tried it with my Win2003 which has
Arabic (Iraqi) loaded (00000401) and nothing changed.
Then I (used the taskbar icon to) set locale to Russian and the command
line locale set it back to English when I used the English code.
Then I received unreliable results trying to set Arabic to Russian (seemed
to go to English if it changed at all.)
Some of this may be due to "application specific" issues -- notepads
and OE messages already open, the focus, etc.
