Hi,

We can change the settings in the control panel manually. We can also change the related registry enties for some settings and make a soft-reset to activate the modified settings.

I would like to know if there is some way to activate the settings without a soft-reset after modifying registry, just by running a small program or invoking a function -- so the settings can be modified automatically.

So do you know any method, program or resource to implement this, especially for the regional settings?

Thank you!

I am talking about the method to switch the regional settings Automatically, not to set them Manually in Settings->System->Regional and Language.

So, after modifying the registry keys related to the regional settings, how to make the modified keys take effect without a soft-reset, i.e., how to let the system immediately know that this setting has been changed and please refresh the related data about this in the memory? Thanks!

Wait for a while, maybe.

Works for some other settings, but for regional settings, seems the only way to fully activate all changes is through a soft reset, some services need to be reloaded.
