HKCU\Keyboard Layout

Description

The Preload subkey stores the codes for each keyboard layout that the user has chosen. Windows 2000 uses this information to restore the keyboard layout the next time the user logs on.

Each entry in the Preload subkey represents a keyboard layout that the user has selected. The name of the entry is a decimal number, and the sequence of those numbers begins at 1. The entry named 1 identifies the user's default layout.

Change method

To change the keyboard layout, double-click Keyboard in Control Panel. Click the Input Locales tab, and then click Add in the Installed input locales box.
