How can I set the location within control panel without user intervention

[PeterAtkin]

I am currently making a simple OEM and Basic Setting script that wil be used on new systems that are not connected to a domain.

I been having several issues trying to get the location to change via programmic means without user intervention.

I can bring up the page within the contol panel that I want to change but can't find my way beyond this: 2 such items I wish to change this way are.

C:\Windows\system32\control.exe /name Microsoft.RegionalAndLanguageOptions /page /p:"Location"

I would like to change the current option what ever it maybe to 'Uganda'

C:\Windows\system32\control.exe /name Microsoft.RegionalAndLanguageOptions /page /p:"Formats"

I would like to change the current option what ever it maybe to 'English (United Kingdom)'

Anyone any hints, I've been at the for a day or two and still no closer..

to set regional settings I copy a text file to c:\system32 - in this case RegOptsUK.txt

Then run :-

RunDLL32.exe Shell32,Control_RunDLL Intl.cpl,,/f:"c:\windows\system32\RegOptsUK.txt"

contents of RegOptsUK.txt :-

[RegionalSettings]

LanguageGroup=1

SystemLocale=00000809

UserLocale=00000809

InputLocale=0809:00000809

UserLocale_DefaultUser=00000809

InputLocale_DefaultUser=0809:00000809

MUILanguage=00000809

MuiLanguage_DefaultUser=00000809

You should be able to change this to your requirements and even put it into an autoit exe if required.
