International Date format ignored
Hi!
I have this strange problem, when i adjusts the date format in the international settings in the controlpanel, it works just fine. But after a reboot these settings are gone? How can I ensure that these settings always stays the same. The date format i would like to use is yy.MM.dd
Regards

Is your PC one that connects to the network?

Hi Doebuck!
Well both yes and no, the PC is connected to a network but none of the microsoft network services are installed, I only use the network when FTP'ing.

Darn!
You might try to change the date format in Win.ini then.
press start-run-type sysedit and then you´ll see the date format in win.ini.
Change it there and your problem MUST be solved. Or else I cant Help you
good luck!

Hi Bjorn!
Well I just tried your suggestion but no change :-( so my problem still exists.
If its any help then i can tell you that the PC where i have to change the date format is a Compaq EP C466 running Win95 (4.00.950a)
Maybe its because its the 950a version and not the 950b version that i have the problem.
Best regards

Hi Doebuck!
No I have not installed any Y2K patch (yet) so it is not the problem.
I have tried the mentioned methods on a PC (although not a Compaq) running Win95 (950b) and then the problem was gone. So my guess is that it is a fault in Win95 (950a) that causes my problem. So maybe I just installs the b version instead of batteling this problem any more.
