177761 2003-09-25 00:11:00 Hi does anyone know how to change the message date in outlook express from m/d/y to d/m/y?
Also one more annoyance to add to the list is the previewing of songs/mp3's ect by windows media player. I know the easy answer is to not view a folder as a web page, but is there any other way to turn the preview off?

177763 2003-09-25 01:28:00 The date formate suggests you have not set your PC to the correct Region.

Control Panel - Regional and Language. Select NZ and the defaults should be OK. If the defaults have been changed, use the customize function to correct them. Cant be very specific here as you do not mention what operating system you have on the PC.

Also I note your post title refers to Outlook, but you then mention Outlook Express. They are totally different and separate programs. The above should also fix the problem if it actually is Outlook you are using.
