A. A. There are 2 ways to configure this.
The first is using the Regional Control Panel applet
Start the Regional control panel applet (start - settings - control panel - regional settings)
Select the time tab
HH in capitals means 24 hour, hh (lowercase) means 12 hours
Click Apply then OK
The second is to directly edit the registry
Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
Move to HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelInternational
From the Edit menu select New - String
Enter a name of iTime
Double click and set to 0 for 12 hours and 1 for 24 hours. Click OK
Close the registry editor
Logoff and on again
