I wonder how ASP.Net application gets the default locale. I have 2 W2K servers, one with the system locale ENG and the other ENU during installation. The ASP.Net application formats string to default currency symbols £ and $ respectively. Later I wanted to change the ENG server to ENU. But even I changed the international registry of .DEFAULT and the fixed impersonated account to ENU, the ASP.Net application still refuse to use $. Where does it get the default locale information?

The .DEFAULT key values are used only when the system must create a new non
interactive account. Then this not solve your immediate problem.
The fastest way to troubleshoot your problem, is to search in the entire
registry, which keys does have the ENG settings. Probably the aspnet_wp
process's identity has the ENG settings.

The ASP.Net application impersonates a fixed identity. The profile of that identity is ENU. But still the appliation formats currency as £. I searched the entire registry but did not find any suspecting keys with ENG settings. The account ASPNET does not have a profile. I found the application showed the same behavior if the identity is ASPNET. It must know its default locale from somewhere. Where do the configurations come from?
