Regional & Language Options

[Roger K]

I use Win XP Home with five user accounts. Mine is an administrator and the
others are "Limited". After setting the
Regional & Language Options in my account I find that I need to go into each
of the other five accounts and set them individually. If I don't do that the
others stay on the default settings. Does anyone know if there's a way I can
make my settings global?
TIA

This is a setting that is specific for each profile (as it should
be!). You can set it globally by creating a "Default Profile"
that has the desired regional setting. However, the default
profile will only affect ***new*** profiles, not existing
profiles. You could, of course, delete the existing profiles
but their owners might not appreciate this . . .

Thanks for the info. I tried checking "Default user account settings" on
the Advanced tab and then making a new user account which took the profile
as expected. The trick is to remember to do it after installing XP but
before creating accounts.
