For the current user and all future users that will be added, it is enough to change the setting in Control Panel → Region → Additional settings, change Decimal symbol, and click OK.
For existing user profiles, if there are too many to manually repeat this operation for each one, you could set up a Login script that does the operation.
Create a registry .reg file with the required registry changes, say that it is named changedecimal.reg and contains :
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International]
"sDecimal"="."
Then do the following :
  • In the Windows Start menu, enter Edit group policy
  • In the Local Group Policy Editor, navigate to User Configuration > Windows Settings > Scripts.
  • Double-click Logon
  • Click Add...
  • Click Browse...
  • Navigate to and click on changedecimal.reg, then on Open
  • Click OK.
From now on, the decimal separator will be reset to . for every user when he does logon. You will need to use an administrator logon account to effect this change.
