How to change Keyboard layout on startup / logon screen

[Guest Gerrit Horeis]

Hi NG,

 

I've installed Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition on a server as

english version. In my personal account I set the language and

keyboard layout to german.

 

Because this server should become a Terminal Server for people

speaking and writing in different languages I want to make the

keyboard layout for the login screen changeable. Is it possible? How

do I achieve that?

 

Now there is a litte "EN" box in one corner of the login screen, but I

cannot select another value....

 

Who knows a solution?

 

Thanks in advance!

This is a very annoying thing! It is not possible to login if the

Passwords contains chars like ö,ä,ü,...

 

Please help!

Hi there,

 

Yes, you can change this with a registry modification.

 

The modification takes place in HKEY_USER\.DEFAULT\Keyboard Layout\Preload

 

You need to add the keyboards you want with the right value. You can find a

list of the value you can use. The name... 1, 2... and so on will be all

keybaords avaiable at the logon screen, and the 1 being the default one.
