G"day

I'm running XP Pro SP2 and want to know if it is possible to have folders
display the date in australian format rather than US - ie 31/1/05 rather than
1/31/05 - the dsame goes for displays in Office 2003, including outlook, if
its possibole to ask that question in this forum also. Thanks
R, Eddie

Hi,

Try this: Go to the Control Panel/Regional and Language options, change the
setting on the first tab to English (Australia).

Thanks for the help Jose, however, as an ignorant Aussie, my Spanish is
severely lacking and I couldn't read the page.
Cheers

All I did was change one letter in Jose's link. From es to en, so you could
read it in English instead of Spanish.
