Can the PC's system location be over-ridden? The PC's Zip Code system location is always referencing the ISP's Zip Code, not the PC's location.
For example: go to an online retailer web site (such as Best Buy, Home Depot, etc.), and unless manually corrected, that retailer "assumes" that you're located in a Zip Code associated with the ISP, and not the PC's actual physical Zip Code location. It would be convenient if one could make a registry edit to "always over-ride" the faulty information and instead use a specified Zip Code location.
