Default Auto date in excell 2010

When I type a number into a cell, Excel automatically creates a date from it,
even if it is just one number like 10 or 4 or 1 or 7. How can I get this to
stop, it is very annoying because I can't enter just a number into the cells
without it turning into a date unless I put a * or some other symbol before
or behind the number.

Thanks that works, is there a way to turn it off in the settings or not?
Would be nice if there is because then I wouldn't have to do this all the
time.

If this resolves the problem - you may continue formatting your sheet as
General or whatever...

Does this happen with all worksheets on all workbooks?

New sheets? New Workbooks?

Sounds like all cells are formatted as Date.

I am having the same problem. It is happening on all sheets, all workbooks.
I have even reformatted to numbers multiple times, saved, and when I reopen,
they are once again dates.
