Default Option to set default Military time w/out colon: 2300 vs 11:00 PM

It is more expediant to use 24 hr or military time - no need to use the colon
key nor is there the need to use AM or PM

Those options are in Control Panel | Regional Settings.

Sue, The control panel settings will indeed let me use a 24 hour clock, but
this does not eliminate the AM / PM designation nor does it allow you to
deselect the : as a seperator (Military time only uses the numbers, no
seperator).

I did notice however, that you can simply type in 1530 and it will convert
it to 15:30.

thanks for the info.
