Does your computer have the correct date and time setup?

Did you ever work out why Outlook displays week numbers one week ahead of the real week number?

I *think* I worked out what is happening - the first two days of January were a Saturday and Sunday. Outlook says this is week 1. When we get to the end of 2005, from the 26/12 onwards, apparently that's week 1 of 2006!
 
This what *should* happen:
The International Organization for Standardization standard for week numbering uses the first week in January that contains a Thursday. Because of this difference, the numbers for weeks can become incorrect.
 
However, it was a Saturday in our case.... so we should be ok. MS products use this as a guide:
 
1. The week of January 1st.
2. The first full week in January.
3. The first week in January that contains a Thursday.
 
To change it, go into Tools, Options, Calendar options.
 
The options are in the drop-down labelled "First week of year". If you choose "First full week" then it will 'correct' it, depending on your view of what is correct.
