Hi xqus,
You are very welcome.
If there is anything specific you would like me to test for you just let me know. 
EDIT:
I did a bit of research:
January 1, 1601, is used as the base of file dates [1] by Microsoft Windows.
January 1, 1601, is used as the base of Active Directory Logon dates [2] by Microsoft Windows.
ANSI dates are counted from 1601-01-01 and were adopted by the American National Standards Institute for use with COBOL and other computer languages. This epoch is the beginning of the last 400-year cycle by which leap-years are calculated in the Gregorian calendar. The last year of this cycle is the only one divisible by 100 that is a leap-year, which was the year 2000, and which was followed by a new 400-year cycle beginning with 2001. 32-bit versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system count units of one hundred nanoseconds from this epoch. http://www.decimaltime.hynes.net/dates.html
So that probably explains the 1601 date?
