Reset default keyboard layout in Vista Welcome screen

I had this problem for some time. Every time I reboot my Windows Vista laptop the default keyboard settings are set to Dutch (Belgium). I have a English (United States) keyboard on my laptop and I have to change this setting every time again. I never got around to fix it, but today I found the solution on this forum and it works. This is what you have to do:

Go to Regional and Language Options:

Click the Administrative tab.
Under "Language for non-Unicode programs", make sure that you have "English (United States)" selected.
Under "Reserved accounts", click the "Copy to reserved accounts" button.
Click Continue for UAC prompt.
Check "System accounts....." and click OK.

That's it, finally.
