My wife's Pro version of Win XP is showing time as 24
hour time. How can we change that to the typical 12
hour AM/PM display?
Thanks...

Thanks, John. Sheeze, didn't realize until I started
to follow your directions that at 6 A.M. I'd have
trouble seeing the results I wanted...guess I'll have
to wait until after noon. :-(

You can move the clock forward... then move it back to the right time...

OK, time has been changed to the preferred format =
hh:mm:ss tt and shows on the Sys Toolbar as such.
BUT: what does the "tt" refer to?

Thanks again,
Don

It's for the AM/PM notation.
