Try My Computer --> Control Panel --> Regional Options and set to
"English USA".

Seems to work on one of my W2k systems - the one next to it is set to
"English United Kingdom".

On the "USA" machine, news.google.com comes up with the USA news as
default and on the "UK" machine I get the UK news as default.

Worth a try.

i still get .co.uk results a #1 position

It is possible to get different geopositioned results by altering the
query string in the Google query i.e
http://www.google.co.uk/search?num=1...G=Search&meta=

if you append &gl=us onto the end of it you get the geographic
location results for the US

http://www.google.co.uk/search?num=1...ch&meta=&gl=us

you should see that both of the results are different

Mark, try using a proxy. Try something like superprivacyguard.com

I uses a free anonymizer http://w2.hidemyass.com/ which gives you a
US IP address, the results are very different from google.com accessed
from a UK IP address They have changed quite a lot since Feb this year
results are now more seasoned for destination than last year

Yes, they insist on IP. You need a proxy/spoofer.

It's about the user's location, not the server's location.

Thanks, the regulars here have taught me a lot over the years.

Whether right or wrong, I use the google toolbar installed on firefox
with the search engine set as google.com while having the default search
engine on firefox (top RH corner) selected as google.co.uk

Sponsored adverts for the toolbar results are still UK specific, but
results on the toolbar .com are significantly different to the browser
..co.uk results with top listings being .com's and predominantly US sites.

More specifically there is no selection for "results from UK or results
from the web" as there is on .co.uk.

Hopefully I didn't confuse in that attempted explanation.

Or he could use a US-based proxy server, which will give different
results again..
