    Hi cris_no_h,

    Please follow the steps below:

    • Open the Run by pressing Win + R, and type the below command to launch the configuration:

     

    ms-settings:regionformatting​

     

    Select your preferred English from the Regional format, e.g. "English (United Kingdom)".

    • Close and reopen Outlook.

Thank you.

Simple, elegant and quick!  Couldn't ask for anything better.  Looks beautiful now AND correct.  All dates should be dd-mm-yy.  I think it's an international standard so for now at I am following as I should and won't get confused.  

Also, love the little tip of Win + R.  I'll be taking that with me and using it always now 🙂

thank you again

Cris
