I'd investigate the locale settings if I was really worried about the vertical bars, but it's not a big deal for me. I can live with either. I did superficial things with Windows regional settings (time formats), and to me, it's not really worth delving into, though I appreciate the pointer. There's also the fact that with the cruder looking vertical bars, I'm compatible with the rest of the world.
