I am using Windows 7 Ultimate on a Windows network. My default settings is Danish locale, Danish keyboardlayout, but English system language. I only have Danish keyboard layout installed (in Text Services and Input Languages).

However, at the login screen I can choose Danish and English, but whatever I choose Windows 7 changes system language (and keyboard layout!) to English (United States). Since this is a per-App setting I must change the language setting (language bar in the taskbar)

Where can this be changed system wide and permament?

Go into Control Panel>Region and Languages>Keyboards and Languages tab>Change Keyboards, and remove the ones you don't want.

Open the Region and Languages in the Control Panel and do this:

Click the Keyboards and Languages tab and click Change keyboards...

From here you can either change the Default input language to Danish.

Or you can completely remove the US Keyboard.

Doing either one of these should result in you being able to use only the Danish keyboard instead of having to change it per-app as it makes it the default system-wide.

KCotreau, Thiago M: If it just was that simple ... As mentioned, I already have ONLY Danish Keyboard installed. So my setup is as shown by Thiago above, but ONLY Danish keyboard. Anyway, when rebooting, the language settings are EN and so is the keyboard. ChrisF, sorry about the emphasis in the original post - frustration... – Hans Jul 1 '11 at 10:57
I THINK I SOLVED IT! I changed the default language to English (United States) and chose the Danish keyboard to go with that. Seems to work so far. – Hans Jul 4 '11 at 15:03
Uh ... It tricked me. Windows 7 still manages to sneek in a US keyboard layout in there somehow, and sets this as the default! Again, I beleive I have purged all mentioning of US keyboards in my "Text Services and Input Languages" setting, but it is still there! – Hans Jul 4 '11 at 15:11
