I recently purchased a used computer, running Win 7 Pro, that was configured with a display language of Spanish (Mexico was the set location). I changed all of the display and language settings and restarted, but annoyingly, the title of the Guest account is still in Spanish, as are many of the Programs and files within folders in the Start menu (CD Burner XP, Intel ProSet Wireless, etc.)

How do I finish configuring the computer so that everything is in English?
 
Best way, re-install the OS using the English version, install the English version of the applications. Some applications may have a way of changing the language in their optons, you need to open every one and check those options if you don't want to re-install things.
