How do I make Outlook show the weekday when receiving a meeting invitation?

Question

Whenever I receive a meeting invitation in MS Outlook 2013, it shows the date and time of the suggested appointment, but not which day it is on that date, such as Monday.

This has bothered me a lot, since November 11th doesn't mean as much to me as Tuesday does.

Answer 1

Outlook uses the system-wide long date format setting, so by changing the long date format in the windows control panel to include 'dddd', outlook will also show the name of the day.

This setting can be found in the Region and Language section of the control panel. In English windows 7 you could search for "Change the date, time, or number format" to find it.
