Calendar gadget shows Monday as the 1st day

Calendar gadget shows Monday as the first day of the week.
Is there any workaround so that it shows Sunday instead?
Believe it or not, it confuses me a lot (rhyme).

According to the description for this third-party calendar gadget, "select
mon-sun or sun-sat".

Charlie,
I guess it will depend on Vista localization (country, language)?

Not seeing any way to change that, however, in the language section.

I've been trying to sort this for a while as it is extremely anoying.

In the folder c:\program files\windows
sidebar\gadgets\calendar.gadget\en-us\js is a file called calendar.js, if you
edit this (you will have to change the permissions/take ownership to do so)
and change the line

loc.day.first = vbsFirstDayOfWeek()-1;

to

loc.day.first = vbsFirstDayOfWeek();

this will change the start day from Sunday to Monday.

I've also change the same file in the program files (x86)... folder as well.

Seems to work well with no issues so far, remember take a backup first.

Hope this helps.

Andrew,
Thanks for the tip.
In my case (Vista x64, Spanish MUI, Argentina) I had to set:
loc.day.first = vbsFirstDayOfWeek()-2
instead of your recommended
loc.day.first = vbsFirstDayOfWeek()
which had caused Tuesday to be the first day of the week!!!
:)

Andrew,
A small bug in this method.
Sunday is now to the left (Ok)
Number "6" is highlighted (Ok, because it is Tuestday 6th)
On the top row, the single letter that identifies the day of the week is
wrong, I have Monday highlighted. In Spanish it is an "l" corresponding to
Lunes (Monday in English).
So, proper number of the day, wrong name of the day.
Any suggestions?
Carlos
