1. A method for applying a setting, the method comprising:
- receiving a request for a set of resources from a first system, wherein the request is to use the set of resources of a third system over a network connection;
identifying an address associated with a device, having sent the request, from the request received by a second system;
identifying a geographic location of the device using a portion of the address identified by the second system;
identifying by the second system a set of settings selected from a group comprising a customized set of settings and a default set of settings stored in a storage device accessible by the second system for use with the set of resources based on the geographic location identified of the device, wherein the set of settings is a control that can be modified in the set of resources; and
applying by the second system the set of settings identified to the set of resources of the third system by modifying one or more settings in an operating system for a computer system in the set of resources wherein the set of settings include regional settings comprising a currency setting, a numbers format setting, a language setting, a keyboard setting, and a dictionary setting.

11. A cloud computing system, the cloud computing system comprising:
-
a set of resources; a storage device storing a set of settings for a region; and a target device of a second system associated with the set of resources of a third system, wherein the target device receives a request from a first system to use the set of resources over a network connection, identifies an address associated with a router of the first system from which the request sent, identifies a geographic location of the router using a portion of the address identified, identifies a set of settings selected from a group comprising a customized set of settings and a default set of settings stored in a storage device accessible by the second system for use with the set of resources based on the geographic location identified of the device, wherein the set of settings is a control that can be modified in the set of resources, retrieve the set of settings selected for the set of resources for the geographic location in the region identified, and apply the set of settings selected to the set of resources of the third system by modifying one or more settings in an operating system for a computer system in the set of resources wherein the set of settings selected include regional settings comprising a currency setting, a numbers format setting, a language setting, a keyboard setting, and a dictionary setting. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
