Regional settings doesn't work on RTM

After installing Vista RTM I've stumble over that all internet sites are
opened with local regional settings.
For example instead of google.com I got google.<my_region>

In control panel->"Region and Languages options" my sets are "English/Unites
States" except Administrative tab where local language to the non-Unicode
programs is set and local input languate in the keyboard tab.

Where and what I need to set to get the default US region settins for IE

Re: Regional settings doesn't work on RTM

I can't even get Google.com if I want, it reverts to Google.co.uk(I live in
the UK)and that happens in XP as well

That has nothing to do with your regional settings. Google checks your
domain IP range and serves you a page based on your IPs physical
location, in your case Russia. For me, I get the Canadian version.

However, the actual domain is still from one of the four main IPs for
Google.com in the US.

If I used dial-up and connected to VoxNet in Russia, I too would get
an RU page even though my location is Canada.

You already have it set correctly, and IE7 is working properly.

Use 'Preferences' in Google to chose the displayed language and your search
language(s) and save them. They'll stay until you clear you 'Temp' folder.
