Hi Danny,
I've NEVER found an answer to this problem.
I'm in Australia and have the exact same issue. However, for me my Location
does correctly set itself to "Australia" but the damn "English (United
States)" input locale is always there.
I've had this problems for years and never had a satisfactory solution.
I've worked in several huge companies in Australia and everytime I arrive
somewhere new I check out their build system to see if they've solved it,
and they never have.
The strange thing is that there aren't many people on the Net complaining
about it. Sure you can find the odd message here and there, but not the
volume that I would expect for what is essentially an extremely annoying and
pretty bad bug. It makes me scream to see the "EN" next to the system tray
when it doesn't need to be there but doesn't seem to bother anyone else.
As for why I am successful in getting the Location right when you are not,
try this:
Instead of specifying the SystemLocal, UserLocale and InputLocale seperately
remove all three of those lines and add a single line which says
"Language=00000809" and see if that helps. This is meant to be functionally
the same as using the three lines that you have used. This is how I do it
for my language (00000c09) and the Location works.
Yet another bug as an aside - if you RDP to a server from an PC set to
"English (Australian)" the resulting terminal server session is always in
"English (United States)" with "English (Australian)" as an option. You can
set it to Australian until the cows come home but it will only remain that
way for that session. This is the case whether you are RDPing to Windows
2000, 2003 or even XP.
Cheers,
David

In our unattended deployment of Windows XP SP2 I have set all available
Regional Settinggs as follows:
[RegionalSettings]
LanguageGroup=1
SystemLocale=00000809
UserLocale=00000809
InputLocale=0809:00000809
In order to make the machine entirely United Kingdom.
Yet when the machine is built the "Location" (Under Regional and Language
Options > Regional Options) is set to United States and The Language Bar is
present with English (United States) available?!?!
How do I change these in an Automated Deployment? Its frustrating me as I
cannont find information anywhere!
Many Thanks,
Danny Russell
