Coreper Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Ive got 2 questions relating Windows XP:1. Would/could it harm or is it possible to place a folder in your C:\Windows\ folder? Is this possible without windows removeing it automatically [dont know if it works like that]2. Is it possible to change the language of Windows? With or without CD? Is it also possible to change the language of Microsoft office [without a cd]? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gagaman Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Regarding your second question:If your base install of xp is in English:http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/DrIntl/....mspx#MUIques15What is Multilingual User Interface Pack (MUI)?Multilingual User Interface Pack is a set of language specific resource files that can be added to the English version of Windows Professional. When installed on the English version of Windows, MUI allows the user interface language of the operating system to be changed according to the preferences of individual users to one of the 33 supported languages. This allows large corporations to roll out the same worldwide image with a single install job. Local users can then select the user interface language or it can be set by Group Policy for Organizational Units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 You mention a new PC that you haven't gotten yet - make sure that they deliver a Windows install disk with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gagaman Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 :0 Its in dutch... I live in Belgium :) Vergeet dan niet dat de mui installatie voor winxp professional is, niet voor de home editie... ;) What versions of Windows are supported by MUI?MUI was introduced in the Windows 2000 timeframe and is available for:• Windows 2000 Professional • Windows 2000 Server Family - often implemented in a Terminal Services environment • Windows XP Professional • Windows XP for Tablet PC • Windows Server 2003 Family • Windows XP Embedded MUI is not supported on consumer versions of Windows such as Windows 9x, Windows Me, and Windows XP Home Edition.

~Root~ Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 you can just initialise the setup from setup.exe from the /windows/system32/ folder and just change the language settings. then force reboot, works on most sp2a and below systems. i don t know about now, too many reports on msdn of people using that same feature for ""malicious and illegal purposes"". so good luck, post what outcomes you have here please.

catgate Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Try selecting the word...right click .... left click "delete" ...retype word.Or is that not complicated enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gagaman Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 :) Yep, that will also work...Only after changing the settings above, you just highlight the text, and type the new word... it will instantly replace the old text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
