The Preferences window located inworld from your Viewer menu is also accessible from your login screen. There are some Preferences you may want to set before you login such as IM to Email, Voice, and in this case, your '''Start Location'''.
 
'''Start Location''' gives the option to login to '''My Home''', '''My Last Location''', or a select Region/Parcel location.
 
This is useful for accessing places faster, and in some cases, solving technical issues like being unable to login.
 
To set up your '''Start Location''', open the Preferences window from your login screen:
 
# Click '''Edit''' '''> Preferences'''.
# Click the '''General''' tab.
# Check '''Show Start''' '''Location on Login''' '''Screen'''.
# Click '''Apply'''.
 
Once you click '''Apply''', a new '''Start Location''' box appears at the bottom of your login screen, with a drop down menu:
 
* '''My Home'''
* '''My Last Location'''
* '''<Type region name>'''
 
# Select '''<Type region name>''' and replace the text with a Region name to teleport directly to that location (like "Sandbox Newcomb"), or to be more specific, a Region with coordinates (like "Sandbox Newcomb/44/68/125").
# Click '''Log In''' to enter Second Life at this location.

==Video Tutorial==
 
This tutorial was made in an older version where '''Start Location''' looks different, but the same basics apply.

==Notes==
 
* Entering a region in '''Start Location''' temporarily overrides '''My Home''' and '''My Last Location'''. It doesn't persist, meaning the next time you start the Second Life Viewer, the field will be blank.
* If you click a [[How do I invite someone who isn't currently inworld to a specific location|SLURL]] while the Second Life Viewer is closed, Second Life will start, and after you click '''Log In''', you'll be logged in at that location. To test, [http://slurl.com/secondlife/Sandbox Newcomb/44/68/125/ click this link to Sandbox Newcomb].
