In Outlook (2003 + 2007) when you select the Calendar button in the
NavigationPane, a small calendar is displayed at the top of the
NavigationPane.

In XP the days of the week are displayed as:
M T W T F S S

But in Vista they are displayed as:
Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su

Can someone please tell me where Outlook gets these values from, as it's
different in XP and Vista? It must be an OS or regional setting, or something

Many thanks

Mark,

I don't know that you will get what Outlook gets, but you can try
looking at the DateTimeFormatInfo exposed by the current CultureInfo
instance. Pass a value from the DayOfWeek enumeration to the
GetAbbreviatedDayName.
