SetDate
SetDate was written to fix a Y2k problem on an old PC. The problem was that the BIOS couldnt store the year 2000, instead it changed the date at bootup to 2094. To fix the problem, I wrote a program that could run silently at bootup to change the date.
To install the app, extract the app to your C drive (C:\), then you need to run regedit. Do this by typing it in at Start->Run and pressing Enter. Then navigate the tree to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and right click on the right hand side panel. And click New->String Value. Call it SetDate and press Enter. Then double click on the value and type in the path to the executable, this is probably C:\sdate.exe. To set the date, you need to put the current date in the paramater list. You can do this by typing -2001 (or -[year]). So the value should now be c:\sdate.exe -2001. Reboot your computer to complete the installation.
