TD,
If this is happening to everyone you know who keeps trying to change it,
it sounds like your IT department (or whoever is running the company
servers) has a group policy in place to return the date format back to using
slashes. Have you asked anyone in that dept. about it? They may have their
own reasons for the slash preference.
Peace,
GMan
