'''You can change your login location to be your home, the last location you logged off at, or a specific set of coordinates.''' The last one is useful for accessing places faster, and in some cases, solving technical issues like being unable to login. Here's how to do it:
 
# Start Second Life. At the login screen, go to '''Edit''' > '''Preferences'''.
# Click '''General''' tab.
# Next to '''Start Location''', click '''My Home''' or '''My Last Location''' depending on what you want by default.
# If you'd ''also'' like to specify start location at login, check '''Show Start Location on Login Screen'''.
# Click '''OK'''.

Now, notice that under your Second Life name on the login screen, you see '''Start Location'''. To set a specific set of coordinates:
 
# Click the '''Start Location''' dropdown and select "<code>Type region name</code>".
# Replace that text with a Region name, like "<code>Sandbox Newcomb</code>". You can also enter [[SLurl]] coordinates like "<code>Sandbox Newcomb/44/68/125</code>".
# Click '''Log In''' to enter Second Life at this location.
 
Watch this video tutorial to see the above in action. It was made in an older Viewer 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 Viewer, the field will be blank.
* If you click a [[SLurl]] while the Viewer is closed, Second Life starts, and after you click '''Log In''', you'll be logged in at that location. If you have '''Start Location''' enabled, the field is populated with the coordinates. To test, [http://slurl.com/secondlife/Sandbox Newcomb/44/68/125/ click this link to Sandbox Newcomb].
