Microsoft sends Windows Control Panel to tech graveyard

More of a strategic retreat than a surrender.

I understand their desire to lessen support to what ultimately amounts
to a redundancy. They should move the legacy Control Panel to Power Toys
rather than dump it.

The Control Panel is _not_ a redundancy for my needs.
Every computer I get, I set the short date format to yyyy-MM-dd.
The Settings App in Windows 11 does _not_ give me this option.
But I _can_ set this through the Control Panel.

Microsoft's pick-list of short date formats varies by language/region.
For example:
* For the USA, the pick-list includes MM/dd/yyyy but not dd/MM/yyyy
* For the UK, the pick-list includes dd/MM/yyyy but not MM/dd/yyyy.

I might guess that the US pick-list includes an option yyyy-MM-dd just
because that is the default short date format for Canada next door.

For some languages/regions, Microsoft's pick-list of short date formats
has very few choices:

For Ireland, the pick-list has only 2 choices: 'dd/MM/yyyy' and 'd MMM yyyy'.
For NZ here, the pick-list has only 2 choices: 'd/MM/yyyy' and 'd/MM/yy'.


The Control Panel is not redundant for me, because it lets me choose
other short date formats which Microsoft's pick-list does not offer me.

Mine _is_ dropped down. Mine displays _two_ choices:

1) "5/04/2017" -- that is, d/MM/yyyy
2) "5/04/17" -- that is, d/MM/yy

Thank you, but the desktop clock display is not one of my main reasons

For either country, the Short Date is as you describe:

1) "5/04/2017" -- that is, d/MM/yyyy
2) "5/04/17" -- that is, d/MM/yy

However, it is as above whether I use Win7 Control Panel > Region
settings or Win10 Settings icon for those regions.

Win7 Control Panel >> Region & Language >> "Formats" tab >> "Additional settings..." >> "Date" tab
There, one can type "yyyy-MM-dd" into the 'Short date' field even when
it is not in the pick-list which Microsoft provides for one's country.

Win10/11 Control Panel >> Clock & Region >> Region >> "Formats" tab >> "Additional settings..." >> "Date" tab
There, one can type "yyyy-MM-dd" into the 'Short date' field even when
it is not in the pick-list which Microsoft provides for one's country.

OTOH the Win10/11 Settings app has no place where one can type in a
date format which is not in the pick-list which Microsoft provides.

That is one place where the Control Panel is not redundant.

There is a place in the Registry for that. That's how
you can customize. This might also be a stable enough feature,
to work on older versions of Windows.

We went through this exercise recently, but without
fully testing the customization capabilities. It's
not exactly "printf", but it does give you a few
options.

When one can already customize that in the Control Panel, why would
one hack the Registry for the same end?

Yet another example, WinXP:
Control Panel >> Regional and Language Options >> "Regional Options" tab >> Customize >> "Date" tab
where one can type "yyyy-MM-dd" into the Short date field.

Those look like pulldown menu, with four fixed choices in them.
Rather than being a single field you type a format string into.

It's the down-arrow on the right of the dialog that tells you
it is a menu and not a text entry box.

Someone was asking whether you could put the day-of-the-week
in there, and the pulldown menu doesn't have such an option.
While a menu gives you choices, it's not really "custom"
like writing a printf statement. Someone will always be
able to come up with a request the four menu choices don't meet.

They are drop-down boxes with a drop arrow; however, once one selects
the Region tab (upper right) > Related settings > Additional date, time
& regional settings it opens a Clock and Region dialog box.

At this point, it appears to be a dialog box that can more easily be
reached using ol'Skol Control Panel

From there, under Region, select Change date, time, or number formats
opens a Region dialog box and from there, selecting Additional
settings... button at bottom opens a Customize Format dialog box. From
there, selecting the Date tab displays the Short Date box with a
drop-down arrow which will display a list if the arrow is selected but
will also allow the user to evade the arrow and enter a customized date
format.

Convoluted for sure and much more obscure than Ol' Skol Control Panel
but is just another reason I prefer Win7 over Win7+ releases.

Note: there may be easier ways to get to the Customize Date setting
dialog without using Control Panel?

Every computer I get, I set the short date format to yyyy-MM-dd.

I like big-endian date formats.
