When I paste a date into Excel 2010 in the format "2012-12-07 00:00:00.000" I'd like it to be displayed by default as "2012-12-07", but it is actually displayed as "00:00.0".
I know I can work around this by prepending a ' or changing the cell format, but I'm interested in changing the default format.
An approach that almost works is going to Control Panel->Region and Language->Long Time format and changing it to something like "h". This results in Excel displaying the dates I paste in as "2012-12-07 00:00:00.000", but screws up times displayed outside of Excel.
The dates I'm pasting in are from SQL Server.
