Found it.  Thanks Larry.  The error lies somewhere in the file called registrymodifications.xcu.  I 
now have my original profile back, with all the goodies, and I've merely moved in the .xcu file 
created with my new profile, and now my template gives me the date format in the iso-format.

Now it would be nice to know what line in that file is causing the problem, as the new one is 106 
KB, and the old one, the faulty one, is 229 KB, which means that a lot of my registry modifications 
are missing.

I'll take a look and see if I can find out what is wrong, and test again or come back for more help.

Thanks again.
