Something Cool About Vista

I know this is off topic for MFC, but I was using this today with an MFC
program so it may be handy for others. I discovered that with Vista I can
actually change the default locale in Windows. I couldn't do this with Win
2K or Win XP variants. This is handy for me since I have a program where
all of my resources are in a single file without using the typical satellite
resource DLL technique. It used to be that I had to split the file apart to
edit the resources, but with Vista, I can set the display language (in the
Regional Settings options) and it actually pulls up the correct language in
Visual Studio. Also, all the prompts, etc. display the correct language.

Needless to say, this made my updaing task today a lot easier since I didn't
have to load up native copies of Windows in different languages to test out
the application.

I'd use Vista just for this feature alone. I'm not localization expert so
perhaps this was also available on XP, but I could never get it to work of
find anything on the that talked about how to get it to work. With Vista it
was a snap.

Just wanted to share.
