.When I've opened a folder and am using list view, I see: day of wk, month, date, and time -- but not the year. Same goes for the "get info" window. See uploaded pics.
I'd like to know the YEAR, but I have no idea what pref to set to make this magically happen. Does anyone here know the answer?

Do you have some third party app that can adjust dates...

Customize Date format
Of course, if you had followed my advice, you would never use List View, anyway...

Yes, I had and undid it all and still no year in list view.

MenuCalendarClockiCal? Went in and changed that to match the new settings in International and now it sort of works. Here's what I have:

Date created is perfect. Date modified isn't and it duplicates?

In Snow Leopard (and 'regular' Leopard?)...
Lions, and leopards, and bears! Oh, my!
I run 10.5.latestversion and have no clue what animal it is
-- but I don't find a "Language & Text" pref panel.

Do all your friends have numbers instead of names or just your OS's?!
I find it next to impossible to keep up with the often changing version numbers...they all start with "OS X 10." 
So that's five wasted/redundant characters. (Not to mention the confusion of the Roman Numeral "X" which caused a lot of stuttering when the whole OS first came out: "OS Ten 10?!") Then comes the major version number (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc. and those equal the cats: Cheetah, Puma, Jaguar, Panther, Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard) and the last sub-version can change each month! 
No need to use those unless there is a problem directly concerning a particular version, in my humble opinion. And, besides, just do things my way and I'll be much happier. 
Why don't you like cats?!
If they're good enough for Steve,...

Move the /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist (invisible) and the com.apple.systempreferences.plist (in user library) to another location, log out/in or relaunch Finder and see if it shows OK in your regular account.

Create a new user and see if it still happens. If so, it may be a pref.
Done and the problem seems to be gone. Now to figure out which pref.

Dumped both of those and nothing changed.
Restarted without running MenuCalendarClock, no change.
This is gonna be a long, slow process.

At least that SHOULD set it back to the defaults and you can go from there. Maybe. Worth a try, anyway.

QUOTE("Apple Support page linked above")
Date and time formats are user account-specific, so one user account may see the correct date modified on a file, for example, while another user on the same computer may see an incorrect date modified on the same file.
That means, in me, that you should move those plist's while you are logged in to the account that has the problem. And I'm not sure you'll see the changes until you Restart/Quit & reopen/launch the app with the problem. I don't think anything reads its prefs except on Startup/Launch.

Okay, that worked! I changed my region to US (instead of Custom) and now all works fine. I'm not gonna customize it. I can live with the default rather than that screwed up mess I had before.
Paddy,
for searching this out and finding the answer.

Must have missed one bit of customization.
Now why didn't removing those prefs work since the location is one of the things covered by them?

Not sure. It's all a mystery to me.
