Vista - American Feed Headlines

Hi, my name is Tom. I recently installed Vista and all that jazz on my new
computer. The problem is that the feed headlines shown on the windows sidebar
feature American news. How do i change the settings so it features Australian
news stories? can i change where the threats are pulled from??

Hi Tommy,

>> can i change where the threats are pulled from??

Right-click on the Feed Headlines gadget, and click Options. You can choose a different feed from the drop-down list. Note that this list comes from the central Feed database,which is also used by Internet Explorer. You need to subscribe to the feed first using Internet Explorer.

Hi Tom,

The gadget that shows the Feed Headlines on the sidebar is using the feeds
that are set in Internet Explorer.

Open Internet Explorer and select Tools/Toolbars/Feeds. In the Feeds
toolbar, you can see all of the feeds that you are subscribed to. If you
want to remove a feed, simply right click the feed and select Delete.

Go to the website of the news website that you want to add. For instance, go
to
http://www.news.com.au
Near the top of the page, click Tools / RSS Feeds, this will take you to a
page showing the available feeds. Click the title of one of the feeds which
will take you to that feeds page. Click the "Subscribe to this feed" link.

Go back to the sidebar and click the small "wrench" icon on the feeds
gadget. This will bring up a dialog that shows the feeds you are subscribed
to. Click the drop down menu in "Display this feed" and you will have the
option to display all feeds or select just one to display.
