| Y2K updates for Windows
3.1x File Manager supplied with Windows 3.1x and Windows for Workgroups (WFWG) will display a garbled year for files created after 31/12/1999. For example, 2000 displays as 19:0 and 2020 displays as 19<0. You can correct the date display by updating the main File Manager program, winfile.exe, which lives in your Windows directory (usually c:\windows), Note that Windows 3.1x and WFWG need different versions of winfile.exe, and be sure to rename the original so you can easily reinstate it if you need to. The updates are available from http://www.microsoft.com/ithome/topics/year2k/product/product.htm
