Documentation Error About the "country=" Entry in the Config.nt File
This article was previously published under Q321521
The Help files for Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 and Windows XP incorrectly state that you can use a
"country=" entry in the Config.nt file to "enable the MS-DOS subsystem to use international time, dates, currency, case conversions, and decimal separators."
To resolve this problem, note the following correct information. Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 and Windows XP all use the Regional Options (or Regional and Language Options) to determine how the time, date, currency, case conversions and decimal separators should be displayed. Also, when you run a program in a CMD or COMMAND window and there is a
"country=" line in the Config.nt file, it is filtered out, and replaced with the Regional Settings from the currently logged on user.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
