I've seen similar questions posted before without a clear answer, but does
anyone know of a way to set the date format of a Win XP box by way of a
command prompt?

I don't SEE a way of doing it...

Microsoft Windows XP - Command-line reference A-Z:
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/ntcmds.mspx

The closest I can get you to is:

Start
Run
"control time" (without the quotes)
Then edit there...

As far as I know you have to use the Control Panel applet.

[[Changing the time format
You can change the time format by changing the setting in Date and Time in
Control Panel. For just the MS-DOS subsystem, change the country setting in
your Config.nt file. Depending on the Country/Region selected, time is
displayed in the 12-hour format or the 24-hour format. If you are setting
the time in the 12-hour format, specify P for hours after noon.]]

Depends where and in what context.

Need a clear question for a clear answer
