Comment on Reasons to Not Parse Localized Stringsparent

You have to set it for the whole OS... it's like someone who works at Microsoft decided that you should never work on a file generated in a different locale.

If you need to apply a setting like that to a single application only, there are ways to create a program that will detour all the registry reads.

I'm sure there are -- but I'm not doing all of that for a one-off thing.

Wait, can you tell me how to set it for the whole OS? Then please do!
