Hi,

Kindly advise on the steps or method to set the short date format to
dd/mm/yyyy in the Regional and Language Options setting, so that all the PCs
in the network will have the same setting, each time they login. Thanks!

Or if you have a lot of machines that are the same, just set one up
perfectly and image it.

You can do it with a Group Policy Object, via a logon script or by
pushing a registry change to the machines.

(Written for NT 4.0 but you should be able to manipulate it for Windows
2000 and Windows XP)

Via the logon script or reg change you can change it at sShortDate value

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International

You could also change the value at HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control
Panel\International so that new accounts created on the machine use the
same format.
