Has any one got any ideas on how to change the system
regional code from US to UK?. I installed XP Pro and for
some reason I selected US as where the machine was at
rather than UK. Many web sites think I am in the US as
this is what the system was origianlly set as. I now want
to change it to UK

Two places.

Control Panel - Regional and Language Options, and select in the pane as
'English (United Kingdom)'. Use Customise to make fine adjustments
You may also want to check the Languages page, click Details and make
sure you have a UK Keyboard layout installed.

Then in Control Panel - Internet Options, click Languages and ensure you
have English (UK) en-gb at the top. Use Add and Move up as necessary
That will be the one web pages are probably picking up
