The setting you are referring to changes how your system will 
display  the date, not how it will process the date.  This 
setting has no other meaning to your system.  

I have been seeing the message procreate itself through the web 
and I did not want to see people wasting their time on this 
misconception of a Y2K fix.  It is unfortunate that this message
has gained such popularity.
