In french, date/time for a file (for example in MS explorer) is written like that:
dd/mm/yyyy --> 04/03/2013
and time (in 24 h format)
hh/ii/ss > 17/32/45
What about UK & US format (and AM/PM for time).
Thank you

In the US, it is most commonly written mm/dd/yyy, so 04/03/2013 would be April 3. On my system (windows, all versions) it defaults to "5:32 PM" for time.

UK is the same way (dd/mm/yyyy)

Here in Canada, so as not to offend either nation, we use both the US and UK notations.
As a result, we spend endless hours looking at receipts and invoices, trying to figure out if we might have missed a due date or an anniversary.
In the interests of sanity, some of us have taken the third way. We use the ISO standard: YYYY-MM-DD and the 24 hour clock.
