JSI Tip 8899. How can I display information about a computer's locale settings?


NLSInfo.exe, a free Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit tool, is a command-line tool that displays information about the locale settings for a computer.

When I open a CMD.EXE windows on my Windows XP workstation and type NLSInfo, I receive:
