Regional Settings

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Hi
I use the following reg hack:
UK settings with day name:

HKLM\nls\overrides\

Select SLDte (add "new string value" if it's not there)

Change to:

"dddd d MMMM yyyy"

You can use variations of this too: use MMM for Dec, or ddd for Wed etc
Make sure you backup your device first, though!

Try a soft rest prior to installing it?


You could also try an easier way. Regional settings are separate from
the time zone setting so choose a country setting that gives you the
option that you need. For example I use English (Australia) although I
an in the UK. This allows the long date setting I want that is not in
the UK regional settings. I had to reset the currency symbol too. Days
are available in the Australia settings but weren't in the UK one which
is why I chose it.

btw Thanks to the author of Calendar+ who told me about this- sorry I
forgot your name, and the computer that had the email on has just
trashed its hard disk so I can't find it.
