Removing “AM/PM” from your time

This is just an extra tip that I’m giving out to my readers. Actually, my brother got me a laptop from UK but when I changed it’s time to my country’s time, I noticed that it wasn’t showing AM/PM. I tried looking for any options that will get it to display in ‘Date and Time Properties’ by double-clicking it but I couldn’t find any option over there too.

Then, a friend of mine told me that he think he’d seen in somewhere in ‘Regional and Language Options’. Then it was just a few minutes of job for me to find the solution.

  1. Open ‘Control panel’
  2. Open ‘Regional and Language Options’
  3. In the ‘Regional Options’ tab click ‘customize’…customer region options will open
  4. There in the ‘time’ tab -> Time format -> select “h:mm:ss tt” or “hh:mm:ss tt” and click ok and again ok to exit

Now, you’ll see that the AM/PM appears. Wasn’t that easy?
