    Logon scripts would be the way and you can change the registry setting by running a reg file from the script.
    On one user - set the region correctly, then run regedit and export "HKCU\Control Panel\International" to a reg file
    Save the reg file to a common location (eg c:\scripts\region.reg)
    create a bat file with command "regedit.exe /s c:\scripts\region.reg" - yeah, use your version. This is an example.
    put a shortcut to that bat file into "c:\programdata\windows\start menu\programs\startup"
    source:
