Tlocmgr.exe: Telephony Location Manager

This shell extension configures telephony locations and properties for portable computer users who use telephone applications, such as Dial-Up Networking, from several locations. It is useful for anyone who changes Telephony API (TAPI) locations—for example, taking a laptop from the office to home, where the computer no longer has to dial a prefix (such as 9). For a laptop user with a hot-docking setup, this tool automatically changes the TAPI location.

When you start Telephony Location Manager, it appears as an icon in the status area (near the clock).

A menu from this icon enables you to quickly:

• change your current TAPI location (click the icon with the left mouse button).
• bring up dialing properties (click with the right mouse button).
• run Phone Dialer (click with the right mouse button).
