I want to change display language of menus and etc for Guest account. Default computer language should be English.
I've installed 2 language packs and I can change language in Control Panel. Problem is that Guest account has limited rights and can't change his own display language.
How do I do that from admin account?
Best Answer
The quickest way I can think of is to give the guest account admin rights, log in, change language, log out, put guest restrictions back.
There must be a better way, but, I can't think of one off the top of my head without being on a domain and using group policy.
edit... Just tried... If you are using a version of Windows with Group Policy Editor (Windows 7 Professional/Ultimate/Enterprise) follow this:
Click the
Start Orb
and typeMMC
. WhenMMC
is up, clickFile
>Add / Remove Snap-in
, ChooseGroup Policy Object Editor
. ClickBrowse
then click theUsers
Tab and chooseGuest
.From here, Expand
User Configuration
>Administrative Templates
>Control Panel
>Regional and Language
and you can unrestrict these options for the guest account. Also take a look atUser Configuration
>Administrative Templates
>System
>Locale Services
.
