Date is not displayed correctly

If you have a problem where the date is not always displayed correctly on some programs you need to check in two places. In RegEdit go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International a value name of "sShortDate" should display the format you want. Example "mm/dd/yy". If the value name "sShortDate" does not exist here then your machine is set to the default "m/d/yy". However you may wish to add the value name and a setting. You will also need to check the Win.ini file, look for the section "[intl]" and set sShortDate=mm/dd/yy or what ever format you wish. The Win.ini must have this entry
