Re: Calendar gadget shows Monday as the 1st day
Carlos, I didn't see this thread until now, if it is still open, I would
like to contribute that Andrew's method may be wrong for you because of the
different locations? Since I'm not on Vista myself, I cannot (or, I believe
I cannot) easily check or verify the bits and pieces, but the US default
should make Sunday the first day, I believe. In Scandinavia Monday is
definitely the first day and calendar math defines the first day as day
'0' - if you introduce calculations containing '-1' and change location too
you might actually expect anything, right?
0 -1 = 6 (Saturday, under the US default?)
Making changes here may change the number of the day without changing the
name too?
You may need to analyse what happens when you edit those lines, deep down
inside the system something is making recalculations by way of binary-logic
to wrap around between values from '0 - 6' and you might need to start off
by giving false information and tell a lie?
(a white one!)
