How I config the NT workstation to have the date format mm\dd\yyyy by default? without me changing it manualy every time a new user log on to the PC.
by default it give me mm/dd/yy when a new user log in.

Thanks

This can be done but you have to do things in the right order, What I do is login as the local admin and setup things like the Date and Time settings along with any other settings that I want applied to each user profile.

I log out of the admin account then login with another account (Also with admin rights) then bring up the properties of my computer and select user profiles.

Copy the admin user (The one where you set up date information and other stuff) to the Default User profile.

No whenever anyone logs in for the first time they will pick up the deafult user profile.

Hope that helps,

Looks like you have a problem with Y2k.
login as local admin. Open Regional Setting in Control-Panel. Click on data tab, click short date style, now you can set mm/dd/yyyy as a default.

I would check in CMOS that your time is right or not. someold motherboard could not go over year 2000. Try it and CMOS works, then it should be fine.

Good Luck.
