Windows 7 Control Panel has an applet called as the Default location. This Default Location, stores your Geo Location, ie your Zip code, Country, Latitude & Longitude.
Default Location Control Panel applet
You can enter a default location that programs can use to customize information and services for you based on your location. For example, a program can use your default location to find movie theaters and restaurants that are close to you.
The default location is only used when a program requests your current location and it cannot find a location sensor. The location sensor may be unavailable or not installed on your computer.
To provide a general location:
- Click to open Default Location.
- Enter a postal code.
- Click Apply.
To provide a precise location:
- Click to open Default Location.
- Under More information, enter an address.
- Click Apply.
Some programs may use the default location in a way that affects your privacy. For example, some programs send location information across wired or wireless networks. To prevent programs from sending your default location across a network, you can delete the location information in Control Panel.
To delete all location information:
At the bottom of the page, click Delete this information.
