To change region settings for DVD drives
Open Device Manager.
Double-click DVD/CD-ROM drives, right-click the DVD drive for which you want to change region settings, and then click Properties.
On the DVD Region tab, make the appropriate changes.


Warning:The region settings can be changed only a limited number of times. When Changes remaining equals 1, and you select a new region, an alert will be displayed warning you that after this, you will only be able to play DVDs from that region. Be aware that you might not be able to change the region setting for some DVD hardware and software decoders.

You could use DVDidle pro. I found mine on a BT site. It does exactly what you need and then some

Or you could use DVD Region free, which is much easier to find. Just PM me (warez site cannot be posted), and I'll send you a link to an FTP server that has it. You'll get the program in about five minutes, depending on your connection, and then I'll send you the SN.
