Date explanation of settings

The date displayed by your system is in the format (UK) of Day, Month, Year USA Month, Day, Year

The Syntax ( That is the format in the Command (cmd) prompt ) Is:- date[dd-mm-yy][/t]

These Parameters set the specified format where dd is day, mm is month, and yy is year. Obviously in the states the mm comes before the dd

Note :- It is important if you modify these settings that you separate each of the values i.e. mm dd and yy by either a hyphen (-). , a fullstop {Period} (.), or a forward slash (/) The individual values for these settings are obviously dd are 1 through 31. mm are 1 through 12. yy values are 80 through 99, or 1980 through 2099.

Windows XP automatically changes the month and year, whether the month has 28, 29, 30, or 31 days.

As a final point the forward slash is required to instruct the computer to display the current date

Ergo you should see

Date[dd/mm/yy][/t]
