Change your computer regional settings to correct date and time problems

Question

I just purchased a new computer and it’s displaying date and time in the American format. How do I fix this?

Step 1

Open your control panel.

Step 2

If your Control Panel has ‘Pick a category’ at the top click ‘Switch to Classic Vew’ on your left. Otherwise go stright to step 3.

Step 3

Double click ‘Regional and Language Options’

Step 4

On the first screen select ‘English (Australia)’ from the top drop down menu and ‘Australia’ from the bottom menu. Now click the ‘Languages’ tab, then ‘Details’ button. Step 5

Click the ‘Add’ button.

Step 6

Select ‘English Australia’ for the drop down menu. Click ok.

Step 7

Click ‘OK’ to set the changes on the Properties screen, then click ‘Close’ to close the Internet Accounts screen. Notes

If you have more than one account in your list of mail accounts you need to repeat steps 4, 5, and 6 for each account.

Don’t forget to change it back when you get home.
