Hi,

I have a question to ask. How do i change the date in the date modified in windows explore. I mean at the moment, it shows the month then day then year or mm/dd/yyyy. What i'd like it to be is dd/mm/yyyy. my computer's running on windows XP Pro.

Thank you in advance

associates,
Open your Control Panel and go to Regional and Language Options.  Click on Customize.  Click on the Date tab.  Next to Short date format:, type in dd/MM/yyyy.  Click Apply and OK and then exit the program.  That should do it for you.

Thanks CBMatt, worked for me. Wonder how Associates is doing?

[CBMatt]

I'm glad it worked for you, Carbon.  And yes, I'd like to know if this worked out for associates.  It hasn't even been a full day, so I won't report him missing just yet.
