Subject: Y2K - DATE SETTINGS PLEASE READ BEFORE DELETING; THIS ISN'T A JOKE; AND, IT MIGHT JUST APPLY TO YOUR SYSTEM'S WINDOWS!!! A colleague has just pointed out some Y2K information that I was not aware of. As a result, I found a setting on my computer that needed to be changed, and could have caused me quite a bit of headache on January 1st, had I not known what I was looking for. You may want to check your systems, and pass this information on to your friends as well. This is simple to do, and but VERY important. THIS IS ALL YOU HAVE TO DO TO VALIDATE THE CORRECT DATE SETTING: ----------------------------------------- Click on "START". Click on "SETTINGS". Double click on "Control Panel". Double click on "Regional Settings" icon (look for the little world globe), not the date and time icon. Click on the "Date" tab at the top of the page. (tab on the top extreme right). Where it says, "Short Date Sample", check and see if it shows a "two digit" year format ("YY"). Unless you've previously changed it (and you probably haven't) -- it will be set with just the two Y's, it needs to have four YYYY's. That's because Microsoft made the 2 digit setting the default setting for Windows 95, Windows 98 and NT. This date format (two Y's) is the date that Windows feeds *ALL* application software and will not rollover into the year 2000. It will roll over to the year 00. Click on the button across from "Short Date Style" and select the option that shows, "mm/dd/yyyy" or "m/d/yyyy". (Be sure your selection has four y's showing, not just "mm/dd/yy). If your version of Windows does not show the four y's option, just type in the additional two "y's". Then click on "Apply". Then click on "OK" at the button. That was easy enough to fix. However, every "as distributed" installation of Windows worldwide is defaulted to the two y's format and will fail Y2K rollover. Pass this along to your PC buddies no matter how much of a guru they think they are, this just might be a welcome bit of information! Best of luck in your research in 2000. Ross G.H.
