What builds of Windows XP localize the Program Files path?

We are researching an issue with localized Program File paths. One example
is Danish XP, it uses c:/programmer

If someone could provide a list of the OS's that do not use "program files"
but some localized version, that would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

It doesn't work like this. You use
HLKM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProgramFilesDir and
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CommonFilesDir registry
values to know it.
