Use short Date Format

If you  would like to set the short date to a four-digit year.  You use a Registry setting to produce the four-digit year.  You could modify a Registry key, but you can set a four-digit year in Regional Settings even if you don't have that format in the list (we do have that setting on our system--using SP5).

To set the short date, click Start, Settings, Control Panel. When Control Panel opens, double-click the Regional Settings icon. With the Regional Settings Properties dialog box open, click the Date tab. Select the current Short Date Style entry and replace it with

MM/dd/yyyy

and click OK to close the dialog box and save your new date format.
