Export to Cad has the wrong date

Here is a weird one.

 

Currently when I "export to Cad format" "dwg" the resulting file is created with the wrong date and time.

I am exporting a view of a floor plan with the naming convension "Automatic - Short" and the "Export views on sheets and links as external references" turned off. When i proceed the resulting file has a date of June 25th 2013 at 4:46pm...today is October 16th , 2013 at 9:08am...according to my computer.

I've tried multiple times over the last couple weeks and have had the same result.

The weird part is if I switch to the "Automatic - Long (Specify prefix)" or "Manual (Specify name)"  naming convension the date ends up being correct.

Why would this make a difference? Is there a way to fix this?

The fact that the naming convension doing this and not any of the other settings makes me think it is a Revit issue and not my computer.

Any thoughts?

Has this happened to anyone else?

Thank you for your post.  In this case the file name/date/time is governed by Windows code.  Does this happen for all users who log into your PC and test this?  If you are the only user, please test creating a new windows user to log in and see how the results may compare.  This may help identify the underling culprit if one presents itself within this test.
