TweakUI

I read about TweakUI and decided I would give it a go and went to the Microsoft site to download it. I am running xp home
hhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

But I am confused by this message on the website
:PowerToys only work with U.S. English regional settings.

I live in Australia.
Does this message mean that TweakUI will not work outside USA or does it just mean the regional language settings must be "US English" for it to work.
I have checked my regional language settings and they are actually set to "English USA" is that the same as USA English, I'm guessing it is but dont want to go ahead and install TweakUI if I am not assuming correctly.

Any advice welcome and is it worth installing anyway.

Thanks guys

I used TweakUI with Win98SE all the time but haven't felt a need to use it with WinXP. I installed it on one of my WinXP computers but I don't remember ever "tweaking" anything with it.

TweakUI for XP is not extreme. Nothing incredible that can be changed in there.

I use it to remove the arrows on the shortcut icons, never did like the looks of them.
as long as your settings are for the english language I suppose it will work just fine.
