How to programmatically change the shortdate format in the regional settings.

Purpose:

I want to alter the existing shortdate format of the computer to mm/dd/yy for the program use. If the existing format is not or is in the mm/dd/yy already, change it to mm/dd/yy format.

Kindly help.

Ok. I have researched in the internet already and have found code.

Call SetLocaleInfo(LCID, LOCALE_SSHORTDATE, sNewFormat)

Modified it and it worked.
