|---|---|---|
| REG_SZ | Language identifier | 0x409 (For U.S. English) |
Specifies the language used in menus and dialog boxes in Windows 2000, and prevents users from changing it.
This entry stores the setting of the Restrict selection of Windows 2000 menus and dialogs language Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry when you enable the policy. If you disable the policy or set it to Not configured, Group Policy deletes the entry from the registry.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| (Not in registry) | The policy is disabled or not configured. Users can use Regional Options in Control Panel to select a language for Windows 2000. |
| Language identifier | The policy is enabled. Uses the language specified in the value of this entry. |
When this entry appears in the registry, the system disables the menus and dialog boxes in the Regional Options in Control Panel so users cannot change the language while a policy is in effect.
If the language specified in this entry is not installed on the system to which this policy applies, Windows 2000 uses English (United States), that is locale 0x409.
To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Restrict selection of Windows 2000 menus and dialogs language policy (User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\Regional Options). Use the drop-down list box to select a language.
Note
Not all of the locales available on Windows 2000 can be used as the value this entry. Use only the Language identifier that are valid for this entry.
