Change Time Format in Windows Vista

People who use Windows Vista may have noticed that the clock in your system tray displays time in the 24 hour format by default. I always prefer 12 hour format and I was confused on how to do it, well here is the solution

1. Click the Start button
2. Click the Control Panel and then double-click Clock, Language, and Region and then click Regional and Language Options
3. Click Customize this format
4. On the Time tab, Change Time format to hh:mm:ss tt

Think this is easy? Well i really had a hard time figuring this out :P
