I would like the system calendar to display Sunday as the first day of the
week. How can I do this?
 
You can't since officially Monday is the first day of the week.

Well, I gotta tell you, that's pretty dumb. What about other countries where
the week runs differently than North America? Everything else seems so
flexible, it seems ridiculous not to be able to change the week order. If I
can do it in Outlook, I should be able to do it in Windows.

Thanks anyway. I won't waste any more time trying to figure this one out.
I'll just have to make allowances in research data.
 
Dead Wrong.

Sunday IS indeed the FIRST day of the week -- NOT Monday.

All this idiot has to do is consult a calendar. But he's too lazy to do so.

How does this pogue, Carey Frisch, keep up his MVP status with pratfall
gaffes like this and the one about Office Assistants?

ROFL! Every Fascist organization needs its Brown Shirts! Carey didn't
earn his MVP status for helping people, or for his understanding of the
technical issues dealing with MS software, but for his undying faith in
the Almighty Microsoft!

Hey, both attachments made it. :-) Scroll down in the previous post.

I did fail to mention that you can change the First day of the week to any
of seven days in the Works calendar. I never use the thing anyway. That
reminds me I have to kill WkCalRem.exe now.

Hilarious!

To make this even funnier and reveal Carey Frisch's congenital ignorance and
abject laziness even MORE...

My System Clock in Windows XP Pro DOES display a calendar with Sunday as the
first day of the week.

These ARE groups concerning XP -- Right?

How did this rampant pogue wander in?

My system calendar has Sunday as the first day. Calendar type is not
available for me.

From XP HELP:
[[To choose a different calendar
1. Open Regional and Language Options in Control Panel.
2. On the Regional Options tab, under Standards and formats, click
Customize.
3. On the Date tab, in the Calendar type list, click a calendar type.

Notes
• To open Regional and Language Options, click Start, point to Settings,
click Control Panel, and then double-click Regional and Language Options.
• If Calendar type is not available, your location does not support multiple
calendars. The region selected under Standards and formats on the Regional
Options tab determines whether multiple calendars are available. ]]

Hmmmmm...

Interesting.

Even when I change my location on that tab to China or Turkey I still get no
multiple calendar options.

Requires a reboot of the computer?

No. No reboot required.

When I change my location to JAPAN -- I then DO get Multiple Calendars.

It looks as if the language pack for the region you are in must also be
installed.

Thanks for the Good Dope.

The calandar you see is by Explorer.exe, therefore you need to restart. Lots of fun to be had, I just got a calandar where each and every month was called "3"
