Bobby: Also thanks. Just checked our three computers and one was on the yy setting. (the laptop that we just bought our son last summer for college was wrong.... he would have freaked if he started having glitches in it) Thanks again

Thanks for the tip... but my "Short Date Style" only gives 2-letter options and no 4-letter options like "yyyy" at all... There is a "Lond Date Style" box that has 4-letter "yyyy" options only but how do I select the "Long Date Style" to be the default instead of the "Short Date Style"??? Can anybody help, please?

Bobby - I posted your warning to various friends including my brother-in-law in Scotland - who sent me this response: "Thanks for your message about the "Y2K Bug" in the Windows date setting: I wouldn't worry too much about this one - as you may know this message was originally a hoax and even Microsoft itself had to put a notice on its Web site some months ago denying there was any foundation in the idea. The truth is that Windows takes its date from the RTC (real time clock) and frankly doesn't bother whether its in four digits or two" Anyway - thanks for the warning and a happy New Year to you. d
