Default Why does Excel change the dates I input?

I don't know the answer to your problem, but, if I enter 10/10/4670 and then
format as General, the following number is shown:
1012006
This seems highly coincidental. Are you actually entering the /s as below?
I don't really have another idea.

I have formated a cell range for dates, but Excel completely changes the
numbers I input to these cells. I have checked my computer's regional
settings - OK. This has happened on several spreadsheets.
