Default how do i change the default country in outlook contacts

Hi, every time I key in a new contact in outlook 2007, the business address
automatically assume the country is USA. How can I change this to other
country without changing region setting in the control panel. Appreciate if
you could help. Many thanks.

Outlook uses those settings. Why would you want it to use a different
setting than the one you chose?

Default Also need default country changed

I'm having the same issue. I am in Hungary, so my computer's regional setting is for this country. Almost all my contacts are in the US, though. It seems there should be a way to choose what the default would be.

Also since I changed my region, my "file as" no longer puts "Last, First" anymore; it comes up "Last First" without the comma. I have to enter the comma manually into "file as", or I'll have all the contacts I entered while in the States one way and the new ones this way. Not handy.
