Take me home (I really mean home where I live).

Got an interesting questions from someone who bought there computer with Windows XP loaded on it in the United Kingdom.  They ask, "My desktop PC was purchased in UK but now I live in US. However microsoft.com and google.com still treat me as having a GB locale. How do I force US locale?"

What is happening is that Internet Explorer is looking at the language preference variable found in IE's tool menu.  Most likely it is set as English (United Kingdom) -- en-GB, instead of English (United States) -- en-US.&
