Wrong!! Very Wrong!! All the things I tried did not work...

There must be a lot of people with the same problem. So if someone knows how to solve this problem... I think you can help a lot of other people

You also need the file:

Kbdusx.kbd

I can't test if this is the only extra thing you need, but you certainly need this file.

P.S are you sure you want to switch to US International? It also changes the function of some other keys like the quotation mark ("). This becomes a 'sticky' key that waits for the next key before it is printed. This is nice if you need letters like these: ë . We decided not to switch to US International because we didn't want to bother the users with this change. We just told them to use ALT-0128

I've been working on this problem for quite a while now, but found no sulution.
Within the registry you can change the locale settings, but you can't change the keyboard layout!
If you check the registry while changing the keyboard layout (as you probably did), you see the regkey HKCU\...\substitude changing. This is NOT the right key that you have to change!
If you add another keyboard you will see that the substitude key has a new entry, concluding that the substitude key is an entry for "alternate" keyboards.
Try deleting all the key entries (substitude and preload\1 hives and work from that!
It gives a new perspective to your problem.
I've messed around with the following entries, but nothing did the job completely...
DELTREE ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboardlayout\substitutes")
DELTREE ("HKEY_USERS\.Default\keyboardlayout\substitutes")
DELTREE ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboardlayout\preload\1")
DELTREE ("HKEY_USERS\.Default\keyboardlayout\preload\1")

ADDKEY ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboardlayout\substitutes\00010409")
ADDKEY ("HKEY_USERS\.Default\keyboardlayout\substitutes\00010409")
ADDKEY ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboardlayout\preload\1")
ADDKEY ("HKEY_USERS\.Default\keyboardlayout\preload\1")

WRITEVALUE ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboardlayout\substitutes\00010409", "(Standaard)","00010409","REG_SZ")
WRITEVALUE ("HKEY_USERS\.Default\keyboardlayout\substitutes\00010409", "(Standaard)","00010409","REG_SZ")
WRITEVALUE ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboardlayout\preload\1", "(Standaard)","00010409","REG_SZ")
WRITEVALUE ("HKEY_USERS\.Default\keyboardlayout\preload\1", "(Standaard)","00010409","REG_SZ")

DELVALUE ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboardlayout\preload\1", "(Standaard)")
DELVALUE ("HKEY_USERS\.Default\keyboardlayout\preload\1", "(Standaard)")

READTYPE ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboardlayout\substitutes\00010409", "(Standaard)")
READTYPE ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboardlayout\preload\1", "(Standaard)")
SLEEP 3

These are the full packet of entries that you will need. Just experiment by disable some entries and see what it does... have fun and good luck!

B.T.W. my temp solution is renaming kbdusx.kbd (located in c:\windows\system) to kbdnl.kbd and kbdus.kbd (leave timestamps the same) and override the files on the client machines. You will cover 99% of all th W95 client, because there is always a dutch or VS keyboard installed.

I know, it's not a nice solution, but you can reverse the process at any time.

Maar je komt uit de buurt dus als je niets te doen hebt..

A lot of people are wondering what you just posted.

Because this is an international board please keep everything in English.

Translation of previous post:

I don't think that's such a good idea. There are thousand computers in Haarlem and many more in the rest of Noord-Holland (providence of the Netherlands). But you are from around here, so if you're not doing anything...

...OK lets get serious now. I think you can make something out of the registry entries displayed above. I've contacted some people from Microsoft to take a look at the problem.

I tried is to make a script with things like addkeys, deltrees and writevalue's. Just like you did SLM But all this doesn't work.

After that, I exported the registrykeys from Hkey_current_User and Hkey_users to a regfile. I placed this file in the logon directory. I am now trying if this works
With SHELL "%COMSPEC% /e:1024 /c Copy @Ldrive\Algemeen\Toetsenbord.reg c:\windows\temp"
and
SHELL "%COMSPEC% /e:1024 /c c:\windows\regedit -s c:\windows\temp\Toetsenbord.reg"

If this doesn't work i want to try if i can change the value of the "layout file" in the following key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\control\keyboard layouts\00000409]
"layout file"="kbdus.kbd"
"layout text"="Verenigde Staten 101"

in "layout file"="kbdusx.kbd"

I hope it works. If it does i let you know...

Uitdaginkje... Oeps, sorry Drillsergeant!
