I looked and did not see a configuration item for Nautilus to change the format of the date/time. If no one else has a suggestion perhaps file an rfe. However in a text window many of us use "ls -l" to list files in directories. The default for an ls listing is a 24 hour clock for recently touched files. drwxrwxr-x 13 bob bob 8192 Jun 7 21:33 mail In addition ls has an option "--time-style=STYLE" that lets you do more than the default. There are other file/directory viewers. Others can discuss their favorite and the advantages. -- T o m M i t c h e l l /dev/null the ultimate in secure storage.
