    Go to:
    Start => Settings => Control Panel => Regional and Language Options => Customize (button) => Time (tab)

    Now make these changes:
    In "Time format", enter h:mm:ss:tt <--- all lower-case
    Then enter am for "AM sybol" and pm for "PM sybol".

    Click OK.
    Then click OK again.

    Aaaaand you're done.

    For extra l33tness get and install this as a service (for win2k Pro/WinXP Pro).
    Will synchronise your clock to the real time.

    Windows XP already has a time synchronisation service by default.

    You can access it though thte Time/Date applet in Control \Panel

    Hmm, I know where it's supposed to be, but it's not in my date/time properties.

    Is it disabled when you don't use full XP mode or disable graphical logins? :s
