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. Edna Sloan >> Windows 95 nor 98 has anything called "Short Date Sample". Neither does it have "Short Date Style", unless I am looking in the wrong place. I followed your directions until I got to the "Short Date Sample". Not there anywhere.
