Bob,
That's very good feedback. I agree it's strange that the Canadian regional
setting does not work but that the US does. Sounds like an "ooops" on Microsoft.

Solved My problem of not getting Jaws and other programs to tell me the day
of the week. I could get the date like; May 7, 2011. But Jaws and other
programs would not show the day such as ; Saturday, May 7, 2011. Turns out I
needed to switch
Regional Options Standards and formats
From English (Canada ) to English (United States). I was not able to
customize the Canadian profile to show the day name. The option was not even
available.

Short date: 5/7/2011
Long date: Saturday, May 07, 2011
Again Jaws key f 12 would only say to me something like; May 07, 2011 but
others could get Saturday, May 07, 2011
I don't know why I tried to fix this after all this time. I just was
enspired to try changing countries and was happy to find it solved the problem.
My question started a long thread which I have not reproduced here. I just
want to thank people who tried to help. Turns out it was not a Jaws issue
afterall.

How do I get Jaws and Windows xp to tell me the day of the week? It's fine
to have the date but I'd also like to know what day any calendar date is.
