The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 4.0, 4.0 SP1, 4.0 SP2, 4.0 SP3, 4.0 SP4 
- Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition

SYMPTOMS
========

When you change the date in the Date/Time tool in Control Panel, the computer
date is changed dynamically, and you do not need to click OK or Apply for this
change to take place. However, if you click Cancel, no permanent changes are
made.

STATUS
======

This behavior is by design.
