Please advise how to change the format for the way dates
are displayed on Windows XP and Outlook Express. In my
Inbox in e-mail messages the date shows the month first,
then the day and year. I would like for the date to show
the day first, then the month and year. The date shows
the same way in other XP applications.

Straight out of helpand support:
To change the way your computer displays the date

1.. Open Regional and Language Options in Control Panel.
2.. On the Regional Options tab, under Standards and formats, click
Customize.
3.. On the Date tab, specify any changes you want to make under
Short date and Long date.
If you do not see the format you want in Short date or Long date,
follow these guidelines:

To Do this
Display single-digit numbers without a leading zero Type a
single character. Type d for the day setting, type y for the year
setting, and type M for the month setting
Display leading zeros with single-digit numbers Type two
characters. Type dd for the day setting, type yy for the year setting,
and type MM for the month setting
Display the last two digits of the year Type yy for the year
setting
Display four digits for the year Type yyyy for the year
setting
Display abbreviations for the day or month Type three
characters. Type ddd for the day setting and type MMM for the month
setting
Display the full name of the day or month Type four
characters. Type dddd for the day setting and type MMMM for the month
setting
Display additional text Type single quotation marks (') around
text

Notes

a.. To open Regional and Language Options, click Start, point to
Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Regional and
Language Options.
b.. Use an upper case M for the month setting. The lowercase m is
used for the minute setting.
