Location tab

This tab identifies your computer’s location. The point is so when you go

online to check local news and weather, you get the right local news and
weather—a handy feature if you’re traveling.

Administrative tab

The “Copy settings” button applies the newly configured language settings

to the following places:

The Windows Welcome screen, so it’ll be in the right language.

New user accounts, so anyone who gets a new account on this
computer will have your language, format, and keyboard settings

conveniently available to them.

The “Change system locale” button on this tab lets you specify which

language handles error messages and the occasional dialog box. (Just
changing your input language may not do the trick.)

RemoteApp and Desktop Connections

The world’s corporate system administrators can “publish” certain
programs, or even entire computers, at the company headquarters—and
you, using your laptop or home computer, can use them as though you were

there.

But in Windows, these “published” resources behave like programs right on
your PC. They’re listed right in your Start menu, for heaven’s sake (in a

folder in “All apps” called, of course, “RemoteApp and Desktop
Connections”), and you can search for them as you’d search for any apps.

The whole cycle begins when your company’s network nerd provides you

with the URL (internet address) of the published program. Once you’ve got
that, open the RemoteApp and Desktop Connections control panel, and then

choose “Access RemoteApp and desktops.”
