How does one change hte Windows short date format to
display "yyyy"?
And will this resolve the problem with conversion of
QP2 data by the Downloader into .dat files?
What is wrong with having dates like 1/3/00? And
how does one fix them?

That your Downloader still shows a "yy" date is

Change your Windows 9x short date format to display
"yyyy" and you'll see
that the Lionel view is correct. Your "00" is now
displayed as "1900" in
Downloader/Metastock Open Dialogs, however both
tabular data view and
charting is fine.
This seems to indicate that QP last date refresh in
MASTER file is not
properly done. The Downloader would complain about
chronological record
misorder if the .dat data had a problem : it doesn't.
Also, please try
understanding the conclusions from the tests I
reported on the Quote Plus
Onelist : a Tool Convert from Metastock format to
Metastock format does
repair the last date showed by Open Directory dialogs.
Tool Convert does
recalculate the MASTER last date from the copied .dat
records.
