Office, the year may not appear correctly. For example, in Microsoft Word,
if you click Properties on the File menu, click the Custom tab, click Date
in the Type field, enter a value of 01/01/01, and then click Add, the date
appears as 01/01/1901 rather than 01/01/2001.

Windows NT service pack.

This fix should have the following time stamp:
