How to change my location in Windows?

My computer, or possibly Windows, seem to think that I am located in Federal Way, WA.  I guess it was sort of a parameter by default when I bought the laptop.  I am not, however, and I would like to know how to change it to my hometown.

Try this:

  1. Click the Start button, then clickControl Panel.

  2. In the search box, type the location and then click on enter a default location.

  3. Enter a postal code. If you want to provide an address, you can enter underEnter address (optional).

  4. Click on apply.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  • How to change the location of storage in Lightroom 3.6. ?

    How to change the location of storage in Lightroom 3.6. ?

    I use my internal hard drive NTFS of my MacBook Pro as my Lightroom 3.6 storage location. run installation of Snow Leopard now but my photos too big get data now. I have two big and fast disks external eSATA hard now I want to use for my data/photos. I know how to copy data from one hard drive to another, but I don't know how to easily change the parameters in connection with Lightroom. I always want to look at all the pictures on my MacBook Pro, but do not want to save the photos on my internal hard drive more. Is it not possible to have the Lightroom program on my internal hard drive but data on twice on two discs hard different extermal? If I look at Lightroom - the catalog settings - I see that the location of the internal hard drive is my storage location now, but I have my two external hard drives do not appear as folders. Why? How do I change this so that external hard drives appear in Lightroom and I can watch all my fotos immediately (sometimes using external hard drive 1 and sometimes using external hard drive 2)?

    My external hard drives are in HFS +, but I use Paragon Software so that there should not be no problem to read and write data (I also use Final Cut Express to my drives external hard are HFS + and not NTFS).

    I want impert lots of data from a CD - do I need to first copy the fotos on my external hard drive, and then import it into Lightroom or is it easier to import data directly from the CD in Lightroom so that I don't have to name the files twice?

    I see that I must sort the fotos of the CDs in different folders and an opportunity to do it in the Finder to my MacBookPro. In Lightroom I don't want to have to click on each of the hundreds of photos to be able to put it in the right folders... But how import only a part of a CD quickly in the right folders (newly created)?

    Best regards, Karin

    The instructions do not all "creating a second folder.

    The instructions are: "In the import dialog box, select Add, and then on the left in the Source Panel, select the appropriate folder."

  • ICF on Windows 7: how to change the location of the home network be connected?

    Windows on Windows 7 firewall - ' Home or work (private) networks are not connected and 'Public networks' are connected. This prevents the PC to be seen on my home network.

    How can I change the location of the home network be connected?
    I have internet access but cannot connect to a network.

    Go to "Network and sharing Center" > click on "Customize" > change the location of the 'Public', 'private '.

    Edit
    Sorry the above is garbage, I was on mode vista.

    Try, 'network and sharing Center' in the section 'Show your active networks' - it can show 'Public network' or 'work '. If, so click on the one which is indicated and select "home network".

    Note:
    If the other PC on your network are Win XP you can change the name of working group of win7 in "MSHOME".
    IE "network and sharing Center" > click on the arrow down to the network discovery > change settings > tab computer name > change.

    > I bought Toshiba preinstalled official Windows 7 Professional 64 service Pack 1
    You can change the language on Windows 7 Professional t, this is possible on Windows 7 Enterprise (volume license) and Windows 7 Ultimate edition.

    So if you want another language, buy Windows 7 Ultimate or be happy with the current language of Windows 7 Professional. ;)

  • How to change the location of the Start button?

    Original title: Start button

    My Start button is in the upper right corner instead of the bottom left.  Does anyone know how to change it back?

    Right-click on an empty area of the (which I suppose is vertical) task bar and make sure that lock the taskbar is unchecked. Now make a left click (and hold) on this same area empty and drag the taskbar to the bottom of the screen. Release the mouse button when the taskbar is horizontally along the bottom of the screen.

    (the instructions are an approximation because you have not told us your version of Windows).    :)

  • Can't change rip location media windows player

    I can't rip music with my windows media player. I checked the tab "rip music" on the media players 'options '. There is no address. I pressed the buttont to "change" to get the program to select the location where my music is saved, it did not work. Just to see if something might work on the tab, I checked the box "eject the CD after extraction", hit apply and an error window open which displays a message "the parameter extraction of music could not be applied.". I thought maybe that this program is corrupted, but I can't find an icon to uninstall windows media player. What I have then checked the internet. I've seen anyone online had a program of compensation for this specific problem, but I didn't think it was smart to download on a site that I know nothing. What do you think I should do?

    =====================================
    In WMP... When you go to... Tools / Options / Rip tab...
    to the left by clicking on the button change should launch a small
    window that allows you to search for a save location
    of your choice.

  • How to change the language of Windows XP from German to English

    original title: German English XP Windows XP license key

    Hello.. I would like to change the language of my Windows XP from German to English.  Is this legal possible to format my system and borrow an English version of Windows XP and install and enter the license included with the German version key?

    Hi, Soorajr,

    Never borrow from another CD.  It is called facelift soft and illegal.

    The goal of Product Activation is to reduce a form of piracy known as "casual copying" or "softlifting." Casual copying is the sharing of software between people in a way that violates the end user of the software (EULA) license agreement. An example of casual copying is if someone were to get a copy of Microsoft Office XP and load it on his PC, then share it with another person who charged on her PC, then share it with a third person who charged on his PC and so on. This form of piracy is widespread and has been estimated by some industry trade groups to explain a staggering 50 percent of the economic losses due to piracy. Worldwide, the piracy rate is estimated at 37 percent; in other words, one in every three software products on the market is hacked.
