Excellent, I’ve just done it in Windows 7. I wanted the OS name but numeric characters are not allowed. I had to settle for Win Seven. I couldn’t do Windows Seven as there are too many characters, Windows Nine should be OK though.

Whoops!

I’ve just found a drawback. Whatever text is used in place of AM and PM is displayed alongside File Dates and Times in an Explorer 'Details' window listing. I suppose it's alright if you just want to use a few characters.
