How do I change my clock from 12 to 24 hour format?

[Linda :-Þ]

How do I change my clock from 12 hour settings to 24 hour settings?
I'm running windows XP Pro.
I remember I use to be able to go to the control panel to do this but I'll
be damned if I can figure it out now.
When I searched through the help & support this is what I got:
--------------------------------------
Changing the time format
You can change the time format by changing the setting in Date and Time in
Control Panel. For just the MS-DOS subsystem, change the country setting in
your Config.nt file. Depending on the Country/Region selected, time is
displayed in the 12-hour format or the 24-hour format. If you are setting
the time in the 12-hour format, specify P for hours after noon.
--------------------------------------

My system doesn't allow for a 24 hour format........ but I REALLY want it to
do that. Any ideas how to change it?

Thanks
Linda

Hi Linda

Go to Control Panel> Regional & language options>
Click on Customise and navigate to the Time Tab at the top.
In the Time Format box enter HH (for 24 hour format and hh for 12 hr format)
Apply.

Hope that helps

Regards

Dan
