Yeah I have no idea how or if it would be possible to change the way it's displayed either... as far as the work around (removing code page or changing registry or whatever) that's a solution for those who bother to look into the problem and want to fix it but most novice users either won't know how or won't bother......
I mean it doesn't bother me I'm just sayin something should be done where the user doesn't have to modify anything....... I dunno what thow... just a thought.
