- Default setting of my location
- Posted by Andy on March 21st, 2006
when i type google the site that opens is google.de. i think somehow my
default setting has been changed to Germany. I am in Pakistan and want
google.com to open. Similarly when i try and search for somehting on Yahoo it
gets results from Germany. Any idea on how i can change this? Thanks.

Hi Andy,
In the Control Panel/Regional and Language options, check the default
location.

It's more likely to be the accept-language in the browser, but Google
will also frequently override the language based on your IP address,
which is very frustrating when travelling.
In IE, the language is under Internet Options > General [tab] >
Languages [button].
If you have the Google toolbar, there are options to set your language
preferences, but they tend to be "un-sticky" with IP address overriding
at some point.
