How do I change display language for Guest account under Windows7?
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?
Solution 1:
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 type MMC
. When MMC
is up, click File
> Add / Remove Snap-in
, Choose Group Policy Object Editor
. Click Browse
then click the Users
Tab and choose Guest
.
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 at User Configuration
> Administrative Templates
>System
> Locale Services
.
