This particular key edits overrides for date and time. Basically, when you change your time or other settings under regional settings, this is where it gets written. ex: changing your clock from 12 hr to 24 hr will change the string value of "STFmt to HH:mm:ss".
The key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES\nls\overrides\SSDte" is strictly for the date.
"SSDte: dd MMMM yyyy" will equal 01 January 2010"
"SSDte: dd MMMM yyyy" will equal 01 January 2010
"SSDte: dd MMMM yyyy" will equal 01 January 2010
SSDte: d MMMM yyyy" will equal 1 January 2010
"SSDte: d MMM yyyy" will equal 1 Jan 2010
"SSDte: d MM yyyy" will equal 1 01 2010
Ect...
You can just use trial and error to figure out what windows likes and doesn't like. If you input something that doesn't make sense, it will just display it as you typed it. Remember, this will change all the windows date display settings and not the TF3D (except the calendar bug).
I hope this made sense and helped out some!
