6. Where it says, "Short Date Sample", look to 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 incorrectly with just the two Y's.. it needs to be four!
7. 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).
This date format selected 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. (*) unless you change it to reflect "yyyy"

Changing your computer to display "mm/dd/yyyy" (month, day, year, i.e.
1/27/2000) rather than "mm/dd/yy" (1/27/00) has absolutely nothing to do
with making your system Y2K compliant. It only controls how the internal
date is displayed to you. For example if I made the setting, dd/yyy/MMM, the
date would be displayed, 27/000/Jan or something similar. Don't worry about
it!
