How do I change the system language in windows programmatically?

Windows server 2008 rc2 system

Calls

setlocale(LC_ALL,"Rus");
setlocale( LC_ALL, "ru_RU.CP1251" );
std::system("chcp 1251");

не прокатывают

GetACP () function (from winnls.h) returns 1252, and should return 1251.

If you manually change the system language Control panel-Clock, language and region - language and regional standards-advanced-language of programs that do not support unicode.

In Russian then GetACP () returns 1251.

Is it possible to do this?
Is it possible to do this without connecting non-standard ones libraries?

Changing Non-Unicode programmatically to Russian.

You need the function NtSetDefaultLocale. From the user-accessible interface of the Windows libraries, the most suitable SetLocaleInfo, but according to the description, it will be too weak for your task =(

P.S. Found it! Try it out SystemParametersInfo with SPI_SETDEFAULTINPUTLANG. I never would have guessed!!!
