How to Change the Windows 7 Date Format
Information
This will show you how to change the date format to how you want it to display in Windows 7.
Here's How:
1. Open the Control Panel (icons view), and click on the Regional and Language Options icon, then close the Control Panel.
2. Under the Formats tab, select the format regional language that you want to use. (See screenshot below step 3)
3. Change the date formats to how you want them displayed, and click on the Apply button. (See screenshot below) NOTE:This will be for how the Short date, Long date, and First day of the week will be displayed as.
4. Click on the Additional Settings button. (See screenshot above) NOTE: This will allow you to further customize the date format.
5. Click on the Date tab, and change the date formats to how you want them displayed. (See screenshot below)
Doing this will completely mess your excel files. (At least for 2003). All my date formats are changed and when I enter new dates it doesn't recongnize the formatting anymore.
