How to define and change working hours / days / week in Outlook?

In Microsoft Outlook, the normal schedule time is from Monday to Friday every week and from 8:00 am to 5:00 p.m. every weekday by default. This schedule time is fit for most of users.

However, in some cases you may work in shifts, or you have to work on Saturday and Sunday. Of course you can drag the scrollbars and show the working period that fits for you every time.

Here we will provide you with a trick to change the working hours and working week in Microsoft Outlook easily, which let Microsoft Outlook show your workings hours and weekdays automatically without dragging the scrollbars.
