This 2 to 4 Digit Date Conversion Tool allows IT managers to quickly and simply set the default Short Date format in Control Panel/Regional Settings to display 4 digit years. Running this tool on any version of Windows 95 or 98 will set the year portion of the date format to display 4 digits.

Note: Setting the 4 digit year display in Control Panel/Regional Settings is not necessary for year 2000 compliance. Changing this setting affects only the way dates are displayed. Although a 2 digit year display is the default Windows setting, all dates are handled internally using 4 digit years.
