JP,
What problem are you having?
Standard U.S. English keyboard is the default.
SWAG...
The value is probably there because you have Canadian English for a keyboard
layout.
-----
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout
Default: 00000409 (for standard U.S. English)
[[The Keyboard Layout\Substitutes key is empty by default. This subkey
records a mapping between keyboard layout names. The system checks the
user's Substitutes subkey when loading the keyboard driver, and if a
substitute is specified, the corresponding layout name is substituted. For
example, an entry such as the following under the Keyboard
Layout\Substitutes subkey indicates that the user prefers the Dvorak U.S.
English keyboard layout (00010409) to the standard U.S. English keyboard
layout (00000409). ]]

[[If a keyboard language specified in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard
Layout\preload
is configured with a nondefault keyboard layout, a subkey with that language
number appears
in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Substitutes ]]

I use the standard U.S. English keyboard layout.
I have no other languages selcted in Regional And Language Options.
My registry entries...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload
1
REG_SZ
00000409
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Substitutes
(Default)
REG_SZ
(value not set)
