Default Regional Settings - Currency - Am I mad?

And my wife too - we both got new Ipaqs and If we go to settings > regional and set the UK to be our region - the Positive currency is displayed with a minus sign and the negative currency with no sign (other than the pound symbol) - surely this is the wrong way around - but we cant find a way to change them

So are we going barking mad?

Thanks In Advance

Welcome to the world of Pocket PCs.
You can't fix it. It's just made that way. All PPCs seem to made that way. It does display correctly in programs though. But it does mess you up a bit when setting up the PPC.

Yeah, it's one of those things that would be so incredibly simple to fix, but never has been. :roll: It's actually one of the first things I check whenever Microsoft releases a major update to the Pocket PC such as End User Update 3 (EUU3) which came out last year.

Thanks for allaying our fears chaps - we went through every setting we could and in the end concluded that we must be mad - but obviously not
