Default how to change colon to semi-colon in CP/List Seprator

In my excel (2003 with Win XP) the list separator is semi colon (;)
How ever in most of codes posted here the list separator is colon (,) For
copying codes from here, always I have to make a find/replace which is
tedious.
How can I change mine from ; to,?
I think it should be changed from control panel (cp) under "Numbers" tab,
List separator. But in my case only semi colon is available.

I think it is to do with your Regional Settings, and so if you choose
a particular country then that's what you are stuck with. By the way,
the symbol , is a comma - a colon is :

Hope this helps.

Can you just type the comma in the list separator box?
