How to use
Right-click a Japanese .exe or shortcut.
Select Run with Japanese locale or Run with Japanese locale as administrator to run it with Japanese locale.

Why is HF pAppLoc easier?
HF pAppLoc fixes that you have to run the AppLocale msi from a command prompt launched as administrator (on Vista/7). Just a few clicks and you have AppLocale installed.
With HF pAppLoc you can easily run a Japanese game/setup as administrator, which fixes the annoying incompatibility/issue with UAC on Vista/7, i.e. the dreaded "AppLocale was unable to launch the specified application. Please make sure the application specified is valid.". This error would otherwise require you to run AppLocale as administrator in various awkward ways.
HF pAppLoc doesn't display the annoying warning that "AppLocale is only a temporary solution" (thanks to piaip!).
Installing/uninstalling HF pAppLoc is easier than having to bother with .reg files to get/remove the context menu (right-click) feature for Japanese games.

Requirements
HF pAppLoc has been tested on all versions of Windows (including Windows 8 64 bit). The only platform requiring special attention is ancient Windows XP:
Windows XP: Asian language support must be installed to successfully run Japanese games (in Control Panel->Regional Settings). Note: Asian language support is a prerequisite to run any Japanese games on Windows XP (it doesn't matter whether you use HF pAppLoc, change regional settings, use AppLocale or NTLEA - you still have to install Asian language support to make it run).

How it works
HF pAppLoc installs AppLoc by piaip (aka. pAppLoc). pAppLoc is AppLocale without the annoying warning that "AppLocale is only a temporary solution" each time you use it.
HF pAppLoc optionally installs an additional AppLocA.exe and configures it to be always run as admin.
HF pAppLoc optionally adds two context menu items, Run with Japanese locale and Run with Japanese locale as administrator .
