    Hi All,

    Can anyone tell me where to look in the registry to find which language windows XP Home is running in?
    And will this differ for XP Pro or other versions of Windows?

    Any help much appreciated.

    Thanks

    talks about the language toolbar in XP home and Pro. There should be an icon in the control panel Regional and Language Options.

    You must also be sure that the keyboard is set up to use the language selected.

    As far as where it is located in the registry, I'd guess that it is at two places HKCU/ not sure where from there and HKLM/ again I'm not sure where you'd look.
    I don't run XP so I have no proper way of searching for the information on any of my computers.
