Double click on "My Computer".

 Double click on "Control Panel".

 Double click on "Regional Settings" icon.

 Click on the "Date" tab at the top of the page.

 Where it says, "Short Date Sample", look and see
if it shows a "two digit" year. Of course it does.
That's the default setting for Windows 95,
Windows 98 and NT.  This date RIGHT HERE is the
date that feeds application software and WILL NOT
rollover in the year 2000.
It will roll over to 00.

Click on the button across from "Short Date
Style" and select the option that shows, mm/dd/yyyy.
(Be sure your selection has four  Y's  showing, not two)

Then click on "Apply" and then click on "OK" at
the bottom.
