WINDOWS 2000: RECONFIGURE YOUR SYSTEM BACK TO ENGLISH

When your system is configured for Japanese, you may notice a few unexpected (but harmless) differences with your system. Slash characters may read as yen symbols and date/time properties may include Japanese.

You may prefer to reconfigure your system back to English when you're not going to be using ROBO-SENSEI or typing Japanese for some time. Print out a hard copy of this page for ease of reference.
