In 1998, regional assemblies were created in each English region. The powers of the assemblies are limited and, outside London, they are not directly elected. The functions of the English regions are essentially devolved to them from Government departments or have been taken over from pre-existing regional bodies, such as regional planning conferences and regional employers' organisations.

The Windows 2000 component that provides DVD region change support is in the Storprop.dll in %windir%\system32. This component is installed by default, and no additional steps are required to make it available. The user interface of this property page is very similar to that of Dvdrgn.exe application, and it is regionalized in the operating system.
