MORE INFORMATION

The timestamp on the message list of the folder page is not displayed by default. To display the timestamp, the registry value displaytime must be added.

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys and Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it. If you are running Windows NT, you should also update your Emergency Repair Disk (ERD).

To add the registry value, perform the following steps:

Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).

Locate the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\MCIS25\HMI

Select the display time from the data tree. On the Edit menu, click DWORD, and then type in the value as 1.

If the value of DWORD is 1, the timestamp is displayed in the folder list. If the value is 0, then only the date is displayed.

Quit Registry Editor.

After you change the registry value, stop and restart the Web service. Type the net stop w3svc command at the command prompt to stop the Web service. When it has stopped, type the net start w3svc command to restart it.
