[VB2010] Get the REAL OS datetime format

How to get the datetime format set in the OS control panel for every single user?

System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern

gets the CURRENT THREAD DateTime format, and can be changed with a Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = .......... code.

I need the OS settings, not the CurrentThread.CurrentCulture settings
