How do I get a 24 hour clock?
Tuesday, 04 September, 2001
Here is a BIG TIME question. Can I change the time to represent a 24hr clock? If so how?
Ric Smit, ,
 You can Ric, but don't ask me to tell you exactly how. If you go to Control Panel, Regional Settings, Time, Time Style you can fiddle with the settings and get it into 24 hour mode, but it isn't intuitive. I did it and I don't know how. If you work it out, please tell me how because my system is now set on 24 hour time.
The setting you want seems to be HH:mm:ss

Go onto control panel, go to regional, Here you can change the time and date format ie; 24/12hrs / currency ie; £'s $'s €'s / location & keyboard layout, as U.K and U.S differ. sudeepPosted: 04/07/2010 re: How do I get a 12 hour clock? my pc's time format is 24hr, but i want to make it 12hr, pls help me, how can i do this.

(Did you try the instructions above? -PZ) TonyPosted: 09/05/2010 re: How do I get a 24 hour clock? I think he's talking about 24 actual hours on the clock itself not 12. I've seen them before in the UK. Billy JussilaPosted: 18/04/2010 re: How do I sget a 24 hour clock? Easy, just change your time code in control panel from hh:dd:mm to HH:ss:tt when the lower case h is set to the higher case, H then you have a 24 hour clock on all Windows settings. Its all in your international time and date settings, also language etc... are controlled from the same place. Ali abdiPosted: 15/02/2010 re: How do I get a 24 hour clock?

Tnx FavePosted: 24/05/2009 re: How do I get a 24 hour clock? It's really easy. On XP Too, If you just go into the Regional Settings and change the Standards and Formats to the UK and leave your location at US then you'll be set. I don't know if anyone else has said this because I didn't read through the page fully. ashleyhunterPosted: 09/03/2009 re: How do I get a 24 hour clock? thanks grant i have been wondering how u get from 24 hour to 12 hour and also how to get the am and pm sign so thank you and if your wonderin how to do then scroll right down grants solution is best and it really helps dorothy brooksPosted: 19/02/2009 re: How do I get a 24 hour clock? hi, get onto control panel, go to regional, hit customize, then open up time format and hit HH:mm:ss. Piece a cake! SonicBladePosted: 13/01/2009 re: How do I get a 24 hour clock? (change other way - from 24hr to 12 hr) To clarify a response listed earlier... about changing from 24 to 12 hour system.
I had a spybot infection and it changed my clock to 24hr. so I went into the control panel, regional settings and changed the setting TO UK and then back to US. That seemed to help reset it. JoePosted: 21/11/2008 re: How do I get a 24 hour clock? you can use the English US settings (XP) but you will need to customize this and change the time format to HH:mm:ss or H:mm:ss ReaderPosted: 28/10/2008 re: How do I get a 24 hour clock? stef you are a genious GrahamPosted: 20/09/2008 re: How do I get a 24 hour clock? in XP open control panel, open Regional and Language, click Customize, click Time, change little h to big H - bingo 24hr clock and to change back replace H with h VladPosted: 13/09/2008 re: How do I get a 24 hour clock? I had a blonde moment with HTC Touch time settings... I don't like 12 hour clock... Why read extra letters when you can tell the time of the day by the hour? :), so I was trying to set it to 24 hours (hh:mm:ss)... that did not work! :(... Went on internet and this thread opened my eyes... so that is why I am posting here...
Here are the time settings and differences between them on HTC Touch Windows Mobile from Rogers:
h:mm:ss = 3:52:55 PM and 3:52:55 AM
hh:mm:ss = 03:52:55 PM and 03:52:55 AM
H:mm:ss = 15:52:55 and 3:52:55
HH:mm:ss = 15:52:55 and 03:52:55
P.S. Just noticed... this thread was first posted in 2001... 7 years - impressive :) stefPosted: 22/05/2008 re: How do I get a 24 hour clock? control panel/ regional & languages set to english uk NOT english united states THEN 24HR OPTION IS OPEN grumpaPosted: 20/04/2008 re: How do I get a 24 hour clock? i wanted to get rid of 24 hr thanks you all i just reversed am ok now pm thx matthew speddingPosted: 09/03/2008 re: How do I get a 24 hour clock? united kingdom=24 hr

(Ireland = 36 hr? Sorry - couldn't resist. I don't think the average UK resident uses 24 hour time. -PZ) LubanjiPosted: 04/03/2008 re: How do I get a 24 hour clock? Thank you Paul Zucker - the clearest and simplest answer and it worked beautifully
(Ha. That was a long time ago. I'd forgotten about that. -PZ) Jorden HarrisPosted: 29/11/2007 re: How do I get a 24 hour clock? Snowballs Solution is spot on.. thanks.. i hate 12 hour time Posted: 01/09/2007 re: How do I get a 24 hour clock? change the H to a h and it will become 12 hour clock and then to change back just put a H back snowballPosted: 21/06/2007 re: How do I get a 24 hour clock?

In XP go to the regional settings, then in the first tab click the customize button. Go to the time tab and change the h:mm to HH:MM for a 24 hour clock. Eric MendesPosted: 23/12/2006 re: How do I get a 24 hour clock? It Works In Windows XP. I Personaly Have It Running JFPosted: 03/12/2006 re: How do I get a 24 hour clock? Good comments guys. THat is exactly how to do it. JosephPosted: 21/11/2006 re: How do I get a 24 hour clock? Start -> Control Panels -> Regional and Language Settings -> Customize -> Time Tab -> The rest of it should be pretty intuitive, but in the time format field it should have something like HH:mm:ss for a 24 hour clock, and hh:mm:ss for a 12 hour clock. jeffPosted: 08/09/2004 re: How do I get a 24 hour clock? To all who read this,
the computer's clock setting is one part of the computer you can actually 'play' with.
Why?
If you write down all the settings, you can change the time any-which-way you like to,as it will never harm the running of the system files.
It is only a clock.
When you're done, simply 'reset' it back it's to original settings.
The computer won't miss Time.
That is already 'set', via the CMOS set-up. GrantPosted: 14/12/2001 re: How do I get a 24 hour clock? Its very easy to change the time settings, if you know what they are.
First of all, goto Control Panel and open Regional Settings.
Click on Time tab and in Time style and change the HH or hh to h.
The following are legal settings:
h:mm:ss (12 hour time)
h:mm:ss tt (12 hour time with am/pm)
hh:mm:ss (24 hour time)
hh:mm:ss tt (24 hour time with am/pm)
Add the am or AM in AM symbol and pm or PM in PM symbol to get the symbols after the time.
You can see the change in the Time sample above Time style by clicking the Apply button.
This works with 95 and 98 and possibly with other Windows.
Hope this helps.
