I have changed my settings to the ISO standard, but US users will NOT follow the ISO standard, so the configuration can not be distributed centrally to all clients. There must be a way to fix the error on a lower level so the week number displays correctly regardless of your region. I'm aware that the root cause is Windows, but there must be some way to check which region the user is in and to either use ISO or OS settings depending on region. (This same issue seems to exist in various programs, Lotus Notes, Outlook, Excel, etc, because Windows reports the wrong week settings for several regions).
