In R2007a and R2008a, the Current Directory date format
can't be set to my desktop preferences (Windows XP Pro) or my personal choice: yyyy.mm.dd and 24-hour clock. Do I get the impression that ISO formats are not welcome @ mathworks? Why has the product gotten to this stage with such a defect? The current format is annoying with its AM and PM and times waving back and forth because there are no leading 0s on the dates or times.

Have I missed something in the preferences or Help that would answer my question?

Hi Richard,
interesting. I must admit, I've never looked in the Current Directory for
the date ;-). But now I've done and it looks for me like
dd.mm.yy HH:MM
which is indeed the (German) default. I guess (!) this is determined by the
java defaults settings ... Perhaps someone else knows more.
