When I rollover to my date, how do I change the format of the tooltip date. The current format is 27 November 2003. How do I see the day also?
 
Open your regional settings, go to the date tab.
In the lowermost combobox, choose:
long date (DDDD, DD MMMM , YYYY)

Thanks. It works. But one more question. I saw my date/time got AM, but it suppose to be PM. So, I double click to adjust it. But when I did that, I can't see the PM or AM next to the time. It just blank. I wonder why.
 
For some reason, you or the system must have changed the display format:
In regional settings, go to "time" tab
and choose "h:mm:ss xx" as time format. Check that AM and PM are set.

Regards,
Andy

Nope, it says One of more of the characters you typed for the Time format are invalid. Try typing different characters.
 
I keep trying again with different variation and then it works. Ha. Thanks.
 
Sorry - I got a German OS. Just guessed the English equivalent... ;-)
