Set your PC Clock for Y2K?

As a default, Windows sets the date on your PC to read 1/1/02 instead of 1/1/2002.  It is not a big deal, but if you want to set the date correctly for the new millennium, here's how:

1. Double click on the “My Computer” icon on your desktop.
2. Double click on the “Control Panel” icon.
3. Double click on the “Regional Settings” icon.
4. Click on the Date tab at the top of the page.

In the Short Date section, check the date in the Short Date Style box. This is the date that feeds your application software and reads the year 02, not the year 2002.

Example:  It only has two Y’s = m/d/yy (1/1/02). This should be changed to four Y’s = m/d/yyyy (1/1/2002). Just click the down arrow at the end of the box, click m/d/yyyy (1/1/2002) or mm/dd/yyyy (01/01/2002), click Apply, then OK.
