How can I switch from military time to standard time within Windows XP Pro SP2?
Hi Everyone:
Recently, I used a program called ComboFix. Yesterday, it locked up and the pc had to be restarted. As a result of this, Windows XP Pro SP2 is now in military time as indicated in the lower right hand corner of the desktop as well as Time/Date area of Control Panel. With this point in mind, I am wondering what necessary steps will be needed to convert the military time back to standard time.
Any help regarding this question will be appreciated.
Thank you
George

Go to Regional and Language settings under Control Panel, click on the Customize button, click on the Time tab, time format should be H:mm:ss (third option from top). This should do it for ya.

The 12 hour clock has a tt after it where as the 24 does not.

Hi Everyone:
Thanks so much for the prompt replies to this question. After following the suggestions outlined by b01sc0tt, the time is now back to standard format as desired. I especially appreciate the explanation given for the significance of the H and h in time format. I now understand the H signifies military time as expressed in 24 hour time and the h signfies standard time as expressed in 12 hour time.
Many thanks once again for clearing all of this up. By the way, I never restarted the pc. I assume once I click "Apply" the changes should automatically be stored without restarting the pc.
