For an RPC2 drive, when the first disc is played back, Windows 98 sets the region for the drive if it is not already set. If there is no default region, Windows selects a region. If the disc allows the initial region, then the drive region is set. Otherwise, the lowest numbered region on the disc is used to set the drive. This will use one of the allowed region changes in firmware. Once the initial region is set for an RPC2 drive, it is not changed by a reinstallation or clean installation of the operating system.

Some PC manufacturers have expressed interest in setting a default DVD region before shipping the PC to customers. Microsoft created registry key mechanisms to enable this. The OEM can set a registry key containing the default DVD region for the system. On first boot, the drive region will be set to this value. For RPC1 drives, the region is managed by the operating system. For RPC2 drives, the region is set in the firmware of the drive.
