Default Make Excel opnening CSV files work properly again.

By company standard, I'm using an US edition of Windows XP pro. (sp2 all
patches installed.) and Office 2003 SP1, again us edition. I work in holland
so I would prefer using the dutch regional settings in my control panel.

What frustates me:
When I'm using US Regional settings in control panel, changing list
seperator actually works and influences the way Excel opens CVS files.
When i'm Dutch regional settings, changing the list seperator char does not
influence the way Excel opnens CVS files, in effect we can't work with csv
files at all.

Please correct this as soon as you can, or provide some feedback to users
like me that can not explain this.
