I am using Windows 2k Professional with SP4 but have been having a problem
with the Short Date in which no one is able to offer assistance in my problem
and I feel that the only way to resolve this, is to re-install Win 2k. If I
did this, would A: the software just overwrite the o/s from running setup
from the disk and everything should be fine or B: would I have to completely
re-install ALL software on my machine.

Thanks in advance..
 
Sounds pretty messy to me! You would have to reinstall all or most of
your software, your service pack, your hotfixes and all of these little
tweaks and settings that you have made over time. If the system was
really shaky and buggy then it may be a good thing but it's extreme just
for the date format. Where in the registry did you change the setting?
For lack of a better solution right now I would just make a little
registry batch file and stick it in the startup folder. Did you change
it in the hkcu hive?
