Set up of User Accounts
Please can anyone tell me how I set a second user account in a different language to the main (administrator) account. I want the main account in English but the second user account in Chinese.
Thankyou |

Thankyou It's simply not possible to run a single installation of WinXP in two separate languages, differentiated by user account. You'd have to create a dual-boot scenario, using an English copy of WinXP and a Chinese copy of WinXP. Additionally, you may be able to come up with a workable solution using WinXP MUI (Multilingual User Interface) capability.
