Default non-Unicode programs on user account [Win XP Pro]

Try transposing the settings that are changed in the CURRENT_USER part
of the registry (re; your language options) to the USERS\.Default User
hive.

(if you can be bothered)

Using the free registry detective tool - "Reg Shot" - you can discover
just which settings are changed after changing the in the Regional
Options....

Otherwise - if you can't be bothered to learn how to do all that stuff -
it's probably the case that, if you abandon your user account and create
a brand new one - that all will be well with it!!

Hi,
Thank you very much for your replay.

Being logged in as administrator:

1. I compared a language settings in both CURRENT_USER and
USERS\.Default User hives (i.e Control Panel\International and also,
just for secure, \Keyboard Layout and \Control Panel\Keyboard). In all
hives values seems to be the same. Nevertheless, according to your
advice, I transposed these keys from CURRENT_USER to USERS\.Default
User. It didn't help at all.

2. Using RegShot I tried to spot what values are modified when I changed
language for non-unicode programs (when language is changed computer has
to be restarted). However RegShot points to dozen of values that were
modified during this process, non of them refer to CURRENT_USER hive.

3. I created a brand new admin account. It didn't solve the problem.

The problem still persist . I don't have my language fonts in programs
menus started under limited user account. I can't select "Apply all
settings to the current user account and to the default user profile"
option of Regional and Language applet permanently. When the applet is
restarted this option turns to unchecked (regards admin account).

Any other clues?
