hi all, i know on the pocket pc it gives you an option in settings to change the date format from mm/dd/yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy but even though i've change this, the calendar and notes and tasks etc continue to all operate on the american date format.
this is very confusing for me as i'm constantly mixing up dates because of it, and i have to go back and re-enter appointments all the time.
so i was wondering if there are any programs out there (small ones) which change the date format permanently?
thanks all!

I think you should be able to do this in Regional Settings (Start/Settings/System/Regional settings).

Odd that you experience this problem...

Try going to Regional Settings and changing the language to "English (Australia)".

From there, you can make modifications to the date and time settings.
