Installing User Locales after setup

Hey all,
I just started at a multinational corp., and they are performing a desktop
refresh for several hundred machines. The problem we have encountered is
this: apparently when the machines were imaged, the standard user locales
were not loaded, meaning that combo box at [Control Panel | Regional and
Language Options | Standards and Formats] is empty. This isn't showstopping,
but since the users deal with different languages and formatting standards, I
would like to know if there is a way to load these defaults post-config. I've
searched through the registry to no avail, and haven't found any information
either in the KB or Google. Any help would be appreciated.

Try to find a group policy that will touch that settting and configure the
computers from active directory GPO

That was one of my first guesses, too. They don't have any Group Policies
pertaining to the Regional Settings configured. I still think the issue stems
from the installation of the OS, but I haven't had a chance to check it yet.
Thanks for the reply.
