Hi Judd,

Outlook Express is using the date and format setup on the regional settings of our Computer set in Control Panel.

You can change it by following the steps below:

• Start
• Settings
• Control Panel
• Regional and Language Options
• Choose the settings which best show the date that you like.
• Click Ok

You may need to do a restart if it is still not working for you.

Another option you may opt to try is to create a new identity in Outlook Express.

To create a new identity, please do the steps below:

• File

The Time format (mm/dd/yy) that you're trying to replace is an American Time Settings.

In order for you to change it into Australian Time Setting which is dd/mm/yy or dd/mm/yyyy – You can: Either go to Control Panel – Clock, Language, and Region Settings – Region and Language – Change the date, time, or number format.

There are lots of time and date format you can choose from.

Can also change the long and short time and date settings on this section.

Outlook Express and most other programs that use date/time tend to run from the settings of your computer.

Or you can Reboot your PC, go into the BIOS, and check the date/time settings.

Hope this helps.

If you want to change the format of the date in Microsoft Outlook Express, you change it in the operating system and not with the application. To change the format of the date, click “Start,” “Control Panel,” “Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options,” and then “Regional and Language Options”. In “Regional and Language Options” screen, in “Regional Options” tab, click “Customize”.

In “Customize Regional Options” screen, select “Date” tab. Here, set the format you want for the date. Since the one you want to change is the short date format, enter the new format in the “Short date format” field.

When you are finished, click “OK” all throughout. The change should now be visible in Microsoft Outlook Express. If you don’t see any changes in the format of the date, restart your computer then check again.
