Place it as the last instructions in your Program.cs?

Really, without any more information or the context of why you need this, it's really hard to give you a decent answer.

Your code changes date format indeed (if you open a windows_explorer new window you will see that the dates are in the new format), but to make desktop show the new format you have to restart the desktop explorer (see[^])...
Anyway changing the format of a user setup, as the time-date format is, is a very bad practice, it is annoying and can resemble a malware behaviour for who use your software!
