Define local PC culture without creating an application

Is there a way to detect the local PC culture (like en-US) without running the application? I tried to look in the control panel | Regional settings (working with WinXP), but I don't know how the selection there matches the PC culture.

I'm looking for a solution that doesn't require creating an .exe, like running a command from the command line (not PowerShell) or a VbScript or JS file (so far we get the real culture and not the IE settings.)

thanks

To view information from the explorer interface, follow the instructions in the other answers.

For internal details read:

The locale is saved for the user HKCU\Control Panel\International\

under the valueLocaleName



To quickly view your locale, run this from the command line:

REG QUERY "HKCU\Control Panel\International" /v "LocaleName"

obviously you can query this information in any way (cmd, powershell, vbs, C #, etc.)

Look at the System Information tool under Accessories-> System, where it will list the locale.
