Does anyone know how to get windows xp's clock to show am and pm instead of the 24 hour format?

Go to:
Start => Settings => Control Panel => Regional and Language Options => Customize (button) => Time (tab)

Now make these changes:
In "Time format", enter h:mm:ss:tt <--- all lower-case
Then enter am for "AM sybol" and pm for "PM sybol".

Click OK.
Then click OK again.

Aaaaand you're done.

For extra l33tness get and install this as a service (for win2k Pro/WinXP Pro).
Will synchronise your clock to the real time.

Windows XP already has a time synchronisation service by default.

You can access it though thte Time/Date applet in Control \Panel

Hmm, I know where it's supposed to be, but it's not in my date/time properties.

Is it disabled when you don't use full XP mode or disable graphical logins?
