Date problem

Have set up a win2k server and it keeps on reverting to mmddyy when rebooted instead of remaining set for ddmmyyyyy which is important as 2 programs running on it must have the date in that format.

Any ideas how to sort it?

 

When you go into Control Panel and change your settings, you're only changing it for that user. To change it in the registry for all users, try this link and read the Change the Short Date Format for All Users in the Registry section.

Hope it helps!

 

Helps Very Much

Thanks

I thought that it should be global when changing in Administrator Logon, how silly of me to think that

 

Did you get the link? I didn't see it there today?

 

Er No

I must have been more tired than I thought last night, I seem to have gotten it into my head you were referring to windows help???

Need to get more sleep. Could you post the link again?

Thanks.
