Actually, I don't have Outlook 2000, I have Outlook 2002. I tried
forcing the change by switching my control panel regional settings to US
but it had no effect.

Then I looked in the Outlook support newsgroups using google groups and
the topic is non-trivial. You can try your own keyword combinations, but
here is one of mine:

default monday sunday group:microsoft.public.outlook.*


Then I looked in the Microsoft support site. The following three faults
for Outlook 97, 98 and 2000 say:
[begin quote]
"Choosing to show Sunday as the first day of the week..."
[end quote]

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q180324

This looks to me as though Microsoft assumes that the default is not
Sunday but I could be jumping to conclusions.
