If you aren't aware, the country or "Region" settings, in Windows 8.1 are located in the "Control Panel-Region". In order to make any changes to this area, you must be logged in as an administrator. After double clicking on the "Region" icon, select the "Location" tab and use the drop-down arrow to select the country of your choice. You may also need to change the language selection in the "Administrative" tab.Once finished, click on "Apply", then OK.
It frequently is best to make sure changes when logged in as THE "administrator" log in, which requires you to enable the hidden "administrator" login option.
To enable the hidden "administrator" login, which creates a new "administrator" profile, follow the steps below while logged in as a user with admin rights.:
Click on Start, then type: "cmd" in the Search line, then RIGHT click on "cmd.exe" at the top of the search page, choose "Run as administrator".
At the command prompt, type: Net user administrator /active:yes
Press the "Enter" key..
An unpassworded Administrator account will now show up on the Welcome screen.
To disable it: Open the command window again, and type: Net user administrator /active:no
Press the "Enter" key.
Hope this helps.

So this is a feature I'm all too familiar with from Windows Vista. So I already found where the region feature is on the control panel in Windows, but when I go to click on it, it won't open at all. Can anyone tell me how to open it please, or at least tell me why Windows isn't allowing me to open it?
