Answer 1

This is taken from Tao's Sun Blog.

Launch notepad or WordPad as an administrator, use that to open the file, and then make the change. You won't need to move the file this way.

2. Permanent Solution

   Go to Netbeans installation directory, for example,

   C:\\Program Files\\NetBeans 6.0.1\\etc
   

   Open netbeans.conf and find NetBeans default option line

   netbeans_default_options="-J-client -J-Xss2m -J-Xms32m -J-XX:PermSize=32m \
       -J-XX:MaxPermSize=200m -J-Xverify:none \
       -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true"
   

   Add -J-Duser.language=en -J-Duser.region=US to the end of this line

   netbeans_default_options="-J-client -J-Xss2m -J-Xms32m -J-XX:PermSize=32m \
       -J-XX:MaxPermSize=200m -J-Xverify:none \
       -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true -J-Duser.language=en \
       -J-Duser.region=US"
