Sorry, no, it *didn't* help you.  That setting changes only the way 
your PC *displays* date information.  It doesn't affect proper Y2K 
operation at all.

If you want a reasonably quick test to tell if your PC is Y2K-ready, 
see http://www.winmag.com/library/1999/0101/fea0061.htm, and in 
particular http://www.winmag.com/library/1999/0101/fea0061b.htm .  If 
your system passes that test, your PC is Y2K-safe.  If not, then 
changing the date display in "Regional Settings" won't help.
