SYMPTOMS
========
After you install the Microsoft Windows 95 Year 2000 Update and you configure
the Short Date Style setting to a 4-digit year on the Date tab in the Regional
Settings tool in Control Panel, the setting may revert to a 2-digit year setting
when you restart the computer.
CAUSE
=====
This behavior can occur if the computer is configured to use user profiles and
the default profile's Short Date Style setting is configured to use a 2-digit
year format. The default setting overrides other profiles if they are configured
to use a 4-digit year setting.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this issue, log on to the default profile and change the format of
the Short Date Style setting to the 4-digit format. Or, start the computer in
Safe mode, which uses the default user profile, and change the Short Date Style
setting to a 4-digit year format.
