Using NotePad, change the behavior of the date time format

Hello

Using NotePad, I could enter the time and date using the <F5> function key. The format display is:

HH:MM:SS YYYYMMdd

Is it possible to change it do the date came before the time

YYYYMMdd HH:MM:SS

If someone knows what the registry key is for the F5 function key, maybe the time and date can be flipped through a registry edit. It doesn't look like a change in region will effect a flip, perhaps thinking certain regions will prefer the flip and MS would actually cater to such localisation.

Hello Martin,

You might see if these tutorials may help.

Date Format - Change

Time Format - Change


Hope this helps,

Hello Shawn and thanks.

This does not resolve the problem. In NotePad, the F5 will display the Time & Date with whatever format you use. I'm looking to revert to Date & Time.

That look an interesting avenue, but how can I found the appropriate register?
