Hello,
I have windows XP OS with support to both English and Hebrew languages.
The problem is that on the log on(to windows) screen the default language is
Hebrew(I can see the HE sign on the left bottom corner of the screen), and
when the user inserts its password, by default it is Hebrew(whilst the
password is in English).
How do I set the log-on screen to work by default on the English version?
Thanks,
Janiv Ratson.
 
Hi,

Check the default input. Control Panel/Regional and Language
options/Languages tab, click details. Look on the Settings tab.

Hi,

You will need to edit the settings under
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Keyboard Layout\Preload

Take a look here:

How can I get Windows NT to use my keyboard layout during logon?

10x,
It works !
I had to switch the order between 2 languages in the registry (preload).
Thanks.
