Hello everyone,

I'm currently working with a customer of ours and I ran into a
problem. I was hoping you could help me.
We use windows xp multilanguage version. When they copy an existing
user then, this user will get the dutch version of windows xp. When we
create a new user, the user will get the english version of xp.
Now I'm trying to figure out how this is possible. Is the preferred
language determined in Active Directory? Or is there some file that
contains this specification? Where can find which language is used by
default?

I've looked at the microsoft site, but I could find anything there.

I hope you can help me.
Kind regards,
Peter

Have a look at the MUILanguage and MUILanguage_Default user settings in
sysprep.inf. The MUILanguage_default user allows you to speciificy the
language for new users.

If you have your computers already deployed you can change that settings by
running a rundll command.

I can't remind the article right now, but search for the following in
technet and you should find an example.

rundll32.exe shell32,Control_RunDLL intl.cpl,,/f:"c:\regopts.txt"

within the regopts.txt you basically defined the same settings as you
usually set under the RegionalOptions settings in sysprep.inf or unattend.txt

• MUILanguage (new for Windows XP)- This setting sets the UI language for
the current user on a Windows MultiLanguage Version-based computer. This
setting is intended for post-Setup configuration, when the Windows
MultiLanguage Version language that you want is already installed.

• MUILanguage_DefaultUser (new for Windows XP) - This setting sets the UI
language for the default user profile, which includes the logon language and
the default UI language that is applied to all new user accounts.
