Hello,
I just installed a SQL server and playing with it. I was reading up on
Collation and tried rebuilding the master database after changing to
Latin 1. After the master database was built, I looked at the regional
settings and realized that it was still English. When I tried to
change the settings again using rebuild database, I saw that my
selection was gone and replaced by the default setting. Iam a newbie
and any help is appreciated

Thanks!
Sunder

Not really sure what you want to achieve. Regional settings in Windows does
not that much influence on SQL Server.

If you want to change the default language for new SQL Server logins,
use Enterprise Manager, and right-click the server, choose Properties,
and then the Server Settings tab. You can later use sp_defaultlanguage
to change the default language for each user.

Beside the language, you also control the default dateformat this way.
