It seems the documentation is always contained in a folder named as a number. I don't know if it's always been "1033", but I've seen that one for ages with the MSDN Library. What is the significance
of "1033"?

I thought that was the i18n number given to the english version. I have seen other language variants being placed into different directories with other numeric designations.

Yep it's a language number. You can also find it in query string parameters. At Hotmail, for example: sign in at Hotmail and you'll see a parameter lc=1033 passing by.

another example is in ASP3.0, we would set:
session.lcid = 2057
at the top of each page that does anything with date or currency types to set them to the UK (British) settings. I am assuming 1033 is the language code for English (US) -
I see. Thanks for explaining it guys!

perhaps you've seen "409", too, in your ventures through Windows registry settings and directories over the years? "409" is hex for 1033.

There are folders in the Windows\System32 directory, that are named 1033, 1031,1037,1041,1025,1028,1042,1054,2052,3076...
To tell you the truth, they sound like version numbers to me.... -
