As this is a terminal server the regional setting will be set for all users
based on the setting when terminal services were installed.  You can change
this by uninstalling terminal services, changing the locale information and
then reinstalling TS - not ideal.  You could also reg file or kix in the
locale information you want to the HKLM reg keys via the usrlogon.cmd.  This
in essence will change it for every logged on user.

I did check this, but this option is greyed out with no tick in it., I
guessed because I only have one input locale installed, 

So why is it showing?!?

I have also checked the default regional setting, and this is set to "United
Kingdom".

It would be great of OEM's could sell regionalised versions, so it defaulted
to the country it was being sold in, rather than everything always
defaulting to US!!!! (sorry, just one of my bug-bears).

Not sure this is a definite answer to your question, but you can disable
the indicator (control panel -> regional options -> input locales - it's
there at the bottom).

And you can set a default local / regional setting, too.
