Calendar gadget shows Monday as the 1st day

Calendar gadget shows Monday as the first day of the week.
Is there any workaround so that it shows Sunday instead?
Believe it or not, it confuses me a lot (rhyme).

According to the description for this third-party calendar gadget, "select
mon-sun or sun-sat".

Mine starts on sunday. And I can't find where that setting is.

I guess it will depend on Vista localization (country, language)?

Not seeing any way to change that, however, in the language section.

This calendar gadget is exactly what I was looking for:

Ah, good.

I've been trying to sort this for a while as it is extremely anoying.

In the folder c:\program files\windows
sidebar\gadgets\calendar.gadget\en-us\js is a file called calendar.js, if you
edit this (you will have to change the permissions/take ownership to do so)
and change the line

loc.day.first = vbsFirstDayOfWeek()-1;

to

loc.day.first = vbsFirstDayOfWeek();

this will change the start day from Sunday to Monday.

I've also change the same file in the program files (x86)... folder as well.

Seems to work well with no issues so far, remember take a backup first.

In my case (Vista x64, Spanish MUI, Argentina) I had to set:
loc.day.first = vbsFirstDayOfWeek()-2
instead of your recommended
loc.day.first = vbsFirstDayOfWeek()
which had caused Tuesday to be the first day of the week!!!

A small bug in this method.
Sunday is now to the left (Ok)
Number "6" is highlighted (Ok, because it is Tuestday 6th)
On the top row, the single letter that identifies the day of the week is
wrong, I have Monday highlighted. In Spanish it is an "l" corresponding to
Lunes (Monday in English).
So, proper number of the day, wrong name of the day.
Any suggestions?

Carlos, I didn't see this thread until now, if it is still open, I would
like to contribute that Andrew's method may be wrong for you because of the
different locations? Since I'm not on Vista myself, I cannot (or, I believe
I cannot) easily check or verify the bits and pieces, but the US default
should make Sunday the first day, I believe. In Scandinavia Monday is
definitely the first day and calendar math defines the first day as day
'0' - if you introduce calculations containing '-1' and change location too
you might actually expect anything, right?

0 -1 = 6 (Saturday, under the US default?)

Making changes here may change the number of the day without changing the
name too?

You may need to analyse what happens when you edit those lines, deep down
inside the system something is making recalculations by way of binary-logic
to wrap around between values from '0 - 6' and you might need to start off
by giving false information and tell a lie?

(a white one!)

No charlie.
mine office computer calendar shows the week view from sun-sat. and my own laptop shows from mon-sun.

so the conclusion is that it doesn't depend on localization.

this is an old subject.
I can recall that it was automatically solved sometime back in 2008 after
one of those MSFT 2nd tuesday monthly updates.
After that, Sunday would sit as the first day of the week.
Are your desktop and laptop updated equally?
Are they the same Vista version (Ultimate, Premium, etc.) and bitness (x86,
x64)?
There might be a difference there.
Anyway, I am now running Windows 7 x64 Spanish 7100 and there are no issues
with Sunday location in the calendar.

I just changed the 1st day of the week on my calendar by going into the
Control Panel, opening Region and Language, then changing the 1st day of
the week from Sunday to Monday. You can change the 1st day of the week
to any of the 7 days you desire.

Would that be Vista or Windows 7?
I'm at work right now with XP32-bit (aaarrrggg!) so I can't check anything.

I am in Win 7, but I think Vista is the same since it has a calendar
gadget also.

I just checked Vista and it does not have the option to change the 1st
day of the week, but when I changed my location from U.S.A. to Germany
the calendar changed the 1st day from Sunday to Montag. So, setting
your language and location should correct the 1st day of the week
displayed on the calendar.
