Truly honor the windows short date format

I want to display the day-of-week on my task bar. I discovered this is done by adding 'ddd' to the front of the Windows short date format.

Unfortunately, this changes the way Quicken displays dates in the register from mm/dd/yyyy to ddmmyyyy. This format is basically 'unreadable'.

By the way, I don't recall having this issue with Windows 10.

    @nhmartens This sounds like a suggestion for Quicken Windows, could you confirm? Because if it is it's in the wrong place & I can have one of the moderators move it over to one of the QWin Idea forums.

    After a little searching, I think I found the 'ideas' forum. Thank you.

    Actually, I don't think this falls into the category of a new function. I feel it falls into the category of an error in the program code. According to Windows d or dd = day while ddd or dddd = day of the week. Now, I have no issue if Quicken doesn't want to support the DOW in the register. In fact, I'd find that something NOT desireable. But it should at least follow the rules for the rest of the date like M/d/yyyy results in 2/25/2026. If you want to force two digits for month and day you would use the following MM/dd/yyyy.

    But the bottom line is Quicken is NOT following the date formatting rules as they are documented in Windows 11.
