What characters define word separators in Window XP? How to change?

When I double click on some text in my word processor, or web browser, etc.
Windows tries to select a complete word. Many times it grabs multiple words
because they are separated by "_", "\" or other characters.

How can I modify what Windows uses to delimit words? I'm sure there must be
somewhere to tweak as these delimiters would be different for different
languages.
