How to make the Date also show the "day" ?

[Guest Perfectionist]

In the Start/Settings/System/Regional Settings screen - it came up with the English (United States) setup as default after a Hard Reset

This US setting actually shows the day of the week in the Date plugin of the Today screen - I cant get it to do the same when set to UK region though :D

Anybody know how to ??

get yoursef a registry editor (like PHM).

go into Hkey_Local_Machine\nls\Overrides

make a new string called "SLDte" with value "dddd d MMMM yyy" (for "Friday 8 April 2005")

save it and soft reset.

Et voila.

Thanks for the reply !

I'm usually a bit wary of making any changes to the registry ..... but I can't sleep at night knowing my JAM doesn't show the day on the screen :D

Cheers

Hi want/need to do this as well. I downloaded and added to my MDA Compact. It says it's there in remove programs but I can't find it? Where should be?

[Guest GothTeddy]

after a soft reset it should appear in your programs folder :D

you could always change your regional settings to Engligh - New Zealand, as that has dddd d MMMM yyyy for the Long Date format

- used to use this on my SPV, and it worked a treat without any adverse effects

Odd that those English-speaking countries that don't know what day of the week it is also can't handle the 24-hour clock !
