Short date setting on Windows in RDS environment does not meet one of the users requirements. It is MM/dd/YYYY and should be changed in dd/MM/YYYY. How can this be achieved? Is it possible in a batch-file. After modification an application should automatically start.

Or, is another way preferrable, if yes, how?

The date format is found in the registry at key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International, item named sShortDate.

You may change it in batch by the command:

reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\International" /f /v sShortDate /t REG_SZ /d "dd/MM/yyyy" >nul

Or via a .reg file containing:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International]
"sShortDate"="dd/MM/yyyy"
