How to Change the Windows 7 Regional Format Language
Information
This will show you how to change the format language Windows 7 uses to display dates, times, currency, and numbers and measurements so that it matches the standards for the language used in the country or region you need them as or where you're currently located.
2. Under the Formats tab, select the format language from the drop down arrow menu that you want to have the dates, times, currency, and measurements formats display with the default standards for that language. (See screenshot below)

My windows 7 ultimate was installed in Spanish. It was subsequently changed to English.
Everything is in English now EXCEPT when it's booted up and powering down. When this happens I get messages in Spanish.
Booting up: Iniciando Windows ...espere ... iniciando.
Powering down: Apagando el equipo.
I understand what it means but I'd rather change it ALL to English.

For that, changing the display language to English should change them. If you BIOS is in Spanish, then there may not be anything that can be done for that though.
Hope this helps,

If you are comfortable with flashing your BIOS, then you might check with your motherboard manufacturer's website to see if they may just happen to have a English BIOS version for your specific motherboard model number that you could use to flash your BIOS with.
The latest BIOS version is 0801. If the language is the only issue you have, I wouldn't be too worried about it. You already said that you can understand it, so I would leave it alone. Incorrect flashing of the BIOS can turn your system into an expensive paperweight. Should you choose to flash it, follow any instructions provided to the letter, and be aware that you do so AT YOUR OWN RISK.

I wish to have the Regional and Language settings in Control Panel, specifically the date format, be applied to Internet Explorer and its display of time on web sites.
Does anyone know how to do this?
I've spoken with the support manager at the web site in question. This is a browser-based document management system called CompliantPro. They insist they have no controls for this in their system, that they inherit it from the browser. Thanks. The dates involved are things like Creation date, Last date modified, Released Date that appear in the document screen or in search results.
