Show AM/PM Symbols in System Tray Clock in Windows 7

[Shikhar]

As usual, we see time in Am/Pm format in windows 2k,Xp, vista and all. But Windows 7 doesn't show AM/PM symbols in system tray clock. Also it shows the time in 24 hour format.If you want to show time in AM/Pm format, you need to make some changes in settings. That is :-

1. Type intl.cpl in RUN or start menu search box and press Enter. It'll open Regional and Language Options window.


2. Now click on "Addition Settings" button.


3. Go to "Time" tab and you'll see the value of "Long time" will be set to HH:mm:ss. Just add tt at last of the value, i.e. change the value to HH:mm:ss tt


4. If you want to show the time in 12 hour format (06:30 instead of 18:30), then change the value to hh:mm:ss tt


5. Click on Apply Button.

Thats it...
