JB,

You can look at the "locale" property in the Control Panel settings in
RegEdit, depending on the OS. The keys to look at can be seen at Microsoft's
site:

For Windows 95 and NT:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q181604

Windows XP (my PC) has it located here:

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International\Locale

I don't know about other Windows OS'es, but it should be similar.

The value that comes back needs to be looked up in a table (querying it on
my Windows XP machine returned "00000409"), which is the hex code that
corresponds to a number (in this case "1033") which is a Locale ID (LCID).

You can get a list of Locale IDs (LCIDs) at:
