sTimeFormat

HKCU\Control Panel\International

Data type

Range

Default value

REG_SZ

Time format

h:mm:ss tt

Description

Descibes the format in which time is displayed.

Change method

To change the time format, double-click Regional Options in Control Panel. Click the Time tab, and then select a format from the Time format list.

Note Image Note

Regional Options in Control Panel links the sTime and sTimeFormat entries. This ensures that the time separator and time format are synchronized. For example:

sTime 

sTimeFormat 

Meaning

:

h:mm:ss tt

8:20:00 AM

Setting sTime and sTimeFormat independently in the registry can result in conflicting values. To repair these settings, use Regional Options in Control Panel.

Setting only one value in the registry might not change the time as it appears in applications, because an application can read either sTime or sTimeFormat.
