    Change format of Finder dates column to include day of the week


    The (or my) Finder lists the dates of files as 25/05/2019 17:34 I would like to add the day of the week. For example:

    Sat/25/05/2019 or

    Sat/25/05/19

    How can I do this please?

    Thanks.

    Its this type of window which lists files in a folder, drive etc.

    Its formal name is "The Finder", isn't it. I think.? "The place to find items". (Or is that the Apple name? If so, what is the correct Windows 10 name for this type of window?

    Thanks.

    Yes. I have just looked it up and "Windows Explorer" is the same as Apple's Finder Window".

    But how can I change the dates format?

    Thanks.

    I don't think there's any way to set File Explorer to use "Long date" when it's programmed to use "Short date".

    I don't believe there is but I could be wrong, If you want other mods right click on the word date at the top (or any column)
    and left click on "more" from the drop down menu.

    "Windows Explorer" is actually the old name since Windows 8 or so they call it "File Explorer"
