• .NET Development Setting Date Time Culture on the machine

  Good Day, I would like to set the date time culture on a machine to dd\mm\yyyy and the currency to NZ (en-NZ).  Note that I am not asking how do deal with it in C# code (as I know of culture in the datetime class).  I am trying to set the culture on the machine.  I will be writting the code to do this in C# 1.1. There is a little something in kernel32.dll calls, but the culture is not given for the format; further, there is no lead to the currency. The culture is not an environment variable (no leads when typing 'set' at cmd.exe window). Search engines have not turned anything up, so I wanted to ask here. Thanks for your help, ...Show All
