I was just wondering, in Windows 7 and above, is it possible to change the way dates and times are displayed via the command prompt? Yes, I'm in the U.S. but I like doing things the European way:
(In Clock/Language/Region)
Short Date: Set as "d/M/yyyy"
Long Date: Set as "dddd, d MMMM yyyy"
Short Time: Set as "HH:mm"
Long Time: Set as "HH:mm:ss"
Yes, it's possible e.g. using reg add
command.
Check the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International
registry key:
reg query "HKCU\Control Panel\International"
For instance, query Short Time format:
reg query "HKCU\Control Panel\International" /V sShortTime
and set it to desired value:
reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\International" /V sShortTime /T REG_SZ /D HH:mm /F
If value name or data contains spaces, use double quotes (surrounding double quotes would not be written to registry):
reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\International" /V sShortTime /T REG_SZ /D "HH:mm" /F
X:>echo %date:~10,4%%date:~4,2%%date:~7,2%
