Customizing /
Fixing Your Date and Time Formats
Whether your date and time formats
are out of whack or you just want to customize some settings you
should know where to look. I recently had a system glitch that
reset my clock appearance to 460323. Glitch or virus? Who knows.
But anyway, here's how you change these settings.
Goto the control panel in XP and
select Regional and Language Options.
Select customize and you will see the
screen below
Select the pull down menu and select
the desired format.
I typically choose h:mm:ss tt
note that a lowercase "h" selects the 12 hour format.
Here's the legend for the time formats:
Now is your chance to look around and
see what other formats might be selected. It's sometimes dependent
on where you live or just what you prefer.
