Use the class "RegistryKe y".

MSDN doco will explain it well enough for you.

If your obtaining this string for the purpose of creating a controll
panel substiture this is all fine.

However if what you realy mean to ask is "how do I correctly print
DateTime as short date using regional settings" then this aproach is
not for you.

Instead look up datetime format strings and the DateTime.ToStri ng
function in msdn.
