<DosKeybCode>

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout\DosKeybCodes

Description

Represents a keyboard layout.

These entries are named by 8-digit hexadecimal Windows 2000 keyboard layout codes. The first four digits of the codes indicate whether the keyboard layout or Input Method Editor is the default layout for the language (indicated by all zeros) or a variation of the default (other than zeros). The last four digits are the standard locale ID. For example, the 0001040A entry represents variation 0x0001 of language 0x040A (Spanish.)

All entries have the following format:

Layout code number    REG_SZ    Two-character MS-DOS keyboard layout name

For example,

0001040A    REG_SZ    sp

This entry associates Windows 2000 keyboard layout 0x0001040A with MS-DOS keyboard layout sp.
