I can not reset my US Regional and Language Settings in Control Panel!
I switch to English (AU), press OK, then reopen RLS and it reverts
back to US in my account.

I have full administrative rights; and when a collegue logs into
another admin account on my machine, it remains in the AU setting.

And I can not customise the US setting, because it will not accept the
d/m/yyyy convention.

Your help is appreciated.

Sorted it myself!

The Registry Key HK Current User/Control Panel/International did not
exist.

I created it; and when I changed my settings, it populated, the
settings stuck, and all is sweet and lovely with the world now.

I managed to fix this when I had a similar problem. I couldn't switch to
UK keyboard even with admin access and I suspected some missing file or
registry problem so I:-

- copied all the *.nls and kbd*.dll files from the SYSTEM32 folder from
a WORKING WindowsXP computer

- exported registry entries from the working computer registry which I
found by searching for "kbduk" (only the 2 keys found in HKEY LOCAL
MACHINE were necessary), saving them as two .reg files and then
importing them on the damaged machine (double-clicking them should do
it)

This allowed me to choose UK keyboard in Regional Settings and it all
now works.
