In Windows, one can install a custom keyboard layout, made with MSKLC.

However, when using the Language and Keyboard Options dialog, the "moniker" that consists in the sequence of characters found on the first row of the layout, is not displayed for a custom layout.

How do I tell Windows that my custom keyboard layout is an "AZERTY" variant?

I have used various tools to find out where this information is stored and it does not appear to be in the layout DLL itself. I also search in the registry but could not seem to find what I was looking for.

This question is very off-topic, and would be more likely to get an answer on Super User. – CheetSheatOverlode Nov 17 '20 at 16:53
@xanatos the answer you are referring two is under one of my other questions about custom layouts but is not related. – Maxime Labelle Jan 14 '21 at 11:38
