Show AM/PM For Clock in System Tray (Windows 7)
When I started using Windows 7, I felt missing a few features which I used to enjoy in the previous versions of MS Windows. One among them was that I couldn’t make the system tray clock display the 12 hour format and it continued until I found the following trick.
How to do it
- Open Region and Language settings in Windows 7 (You can invoke it by the command intl.cpl typed in the Run or Start Menu Search box).
- Click the button Additional Settings.
- Go to the Time tab.
- Change the Long Time format to HH:mm:ss tt (That is, append a tt).
- Now the AM/PM will be added to the time in system tray, on pressing Apply. However, the time will be still in 24 hour format.
- To change it to 12 hour format, change the HH to hh (That is, hh:mm:ss tt).
