Modify the Windows 7 system login interface default input method

Recently, a problem was discovered by chance. After a computer with a new Windows 7 was added to the domain and restarted into the login interface, its input method was set to the "Microsoft Pinyin" input by default.

This problem does not affect the normal use of the computer. However, when the user enters the username, since the user name is a full English string most of the time, it is very inconvenient in this case, and often causes an erroneous operation due to forgetting to switch back to the English input method.

Users at this time often cancel the operation, or use the shortcut keys, or switch to the English input method through the mouse, which will bring some trouble and inconvenience.

So what kind of operation can you specify the default input method that the user wants for the login interface of Windows7 system? Many administrators will think that it is enough to specify the default input method of the system in the control panel. Indeed, there was no problem with the early Windows system, but for Windows 7, such a modification would only affect the current user's configuration, not the default input method selection for the login interface. In particular, when the group policy is configured in the enterprise, the general user configuration is restricted, and the input method settings are modified, the administrator logs in the user's computer with his account, and after completing the default input settings for the user, the user finds the administrator default to the use process. The modification of the input method does not take effect, so the user will complain and worry. Because the default input method that is not used to a large extent will affect the work efficiency, and will make the user feel that the administrator is redundant.

In fact, to solve this problem, you only need to add a few more steps in the previous operation method. The following are the specific steps:

1. Click on the "Open" area in the Control Panel. And Languages ​​Tools

In the pop-up dialog, switch to the Keyboard and Languages ​​tab and click the Change Keyboard... button to open the Text Services and Input Languages ​​dialog.

Second, you can see the current default input method settings in the "General" tab of the "Text Service and Input Language" dialog box, click the "Add..." button to add a new input method.

Normally for the Chinese version of the Windows system, the default input will be set to "Chinese (Simplified) - American keyboard", in the "Installed Services" list, there is no such input method, add. That is, check the "Add Input Language" dialog box that opens.

After completing the addition, specify the custom default input method according to the drop-down list of "Default Input Language".

It is also possible to delete unwanted extra inputs.

For most of the early Windows administrators, in fact, this step can already complete the modification task, that is, the current user's default input method has indeed been changed to the specified input method. However, the default input method of the login interface has not been changed, and once the user is switched or used to log in to the machine with other users, the default input method will not change according to the modification.

Third, in order to make the above configuration on the login interface, in Windows7, also click the "Copy Settings..." button in the "Administration" tab of the "Regional and Language" dialog box.

The Welcome Screen and New User Account Settings dialog box will pop up, and the welcome screen and system account will be checked at the bottom to copy the current user's default input method and location and language configuration. login interface. Also check "New User Account" to make the default input method for new users (or new logins) the same as the current user.

Therefore, the administrator only needs to use his administrator account to log in on the Windows 7 computer, specify the default input method, and copy the settings to the "Welcome Screen" and "New User Account" to modify the Windows 7 login. The default input method for the interface.
