IDEA to automate few tasks for new installed windows xp sp3

<< < (3/3)

I think the 2nd idea in Reply #7 by 4wd is the simplest solution. To make a registry editing file you just type text in a text file, give the file a .reg extension, then double-click the file on the computer that you want to set up.

The format is pretty simple. You need Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 at the top of the file, a blank line, then the registry location you want to edit, then the items within that location that you want to edit and their values. In between two or more registry locations, you need to leave a blank line.

I think this should work for you on XP:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
     
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International]
"iTime"="0"
"iTLZero"="0"
"sTimeFormat"="h:mm:ss tt"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International\Geo]
"Nation"="12"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"HideFileExt"=dword:00000000
"Hidden"=dword:00000001
"SuperHidden"=dword:00000000
"ShowSuperHidden"=dword:00000001

Take this code and paste it into a text file with a .reg extension.

Edit "Nation"="12"
Replace the 12 with your country's value.
Here's a list of country values:
