It appears the relevant MS Windows API call are: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd319114(v=vs.85).aspx and https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd318131(v=vs.85).aspx
To avoid having to write some C++ code to retrieve the information, it is plausible that you might be able to find a Java method for this, or an ActiveX method. This is some sample VBS code at http://www.vb-helper.com/howto_format_time.html
