Mike, this "quick fix" will cause problems in a number of PC's.

For a good discussion on this point, see

No. This is nonsense.

The UI representation of a date and its internal
representation are two different things. So the fact
that this dialog has a 2-4 character representation
doesn't mean anything about the underlying software
format.

Windows will run just fine after Y2K, whether you
change this setting or not.
