Something to add!

By default "intl.cpl" doesnt allow more than 12 characters in AM/PM text boxes. So if you want to add more than 12 characters, then use following registry hack:

1. Open regedit and goto:

Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International
In right-side pane, change values of:

s1159
s2359


to replace AM and PM respectively.
