Default How to display the names of the days in Outlook

In the 1 and 5 day Calendar view, all I see is the month and date (i.e. May
15). How can i get it to show the day as well (i.e. Sunday, May 15).

Don't know what your problem may be. In my Outlook (2003), the names of the
weekdays all show up at the top, in every view. Do you perhaps have
WindowBlinds running? I have found that WindowBlinds tends to blank out
column titles in third-party apps. To stop WindowBlinds from blanking out
column titles in Outlook, set an exception which causes WindowBlinds to not
completely skin the Outlook executable, "Programs Files\Microsoft
Office\Office11\outlook.exe". If you have Outook XP, change "Office11" to
"Office10"

I also haven't found a setting in Outlook options or Views which controls
whether the weekday names show up or don't. Maybe someone else knows.

Also, did you know that you can display a view like in a normal calendar,
without the weekend days compressed? To do this,

1) Open Calendar to a view, any view(Day, Week, Month)
2) Click on "View" in Main Menu
3) Click on "Arrange by..."
4) Click on "Current View"
5) Click on "Customise Current View..."
6) Click on "Other Settings..." button
7) Uncheck "Compress Weekend Days"
8) "Ok" out.

Before you do that, keep a watch on this thread. Perhaps one of the pros
will be able to help you much better than I can.

Hi, I had the same problem and just figured it out!! No need to
reinstall, just a simple 2 min fix.

1) In Control Panel, open Regional and Language Options
2) On the Regional Options Tab click Customise button
3) Click the date tab
4) At the bottom of the screen, where it says Long Date Format, enter
the following: dddd MM yyyy
5) Click Apply/ok and return to windows

This will change how MS programs represent long date formats.

You can try other combinations, such as, for the date 24 May 2005
dd = 24
ddd = Tue
dddd = Tuesday
MM = 05
MMMM = May
yy = 05
yyyy = 2005

Best of luck. :P

FWIW, day names and date formats are controlled by the long date settings in
windows control panel, regional settings.
