My only complaints with the MDGX patch *were*:

The erroneous naming, suggesting that the patch relates directly to
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=929120 when it does not (KB929120 is not
a full update, only applies to Western Australia. In fact I *think* it's
only a W.A applicable patch to the real TZ patch, and *only* really useful
to WinXP/2K3 users.)

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=928388 *was* the real TZ patch. Both have
now been supplanted by KB931836 (which I shall be checking on.)

Other than that, I simply wished to provide a backup of the old info before
adding the new, and mine *replaces* the entire Key rather than simply
updating the applicable keys, though at first glance, it looks as if the new
one from MDGX does update every key, not just the affected ones. Dunno, need
more time than I have today to cross-check.

Also, the MDGX patch leaves the XP/2K3 naming convention in place for newly
created sub-keys. All such have "Standard Time" added to the name of the
sub-key, whereas in 9x they do not. Example: What is named "Pacific" in 9x
is named "Pacific Standard Time" in XP. This offends my sensibilities, even
if it doesn't actually cause any problems -- and I don't think it does.

Lastly, I wish to provide a REG file for those who are more comfortable with
such things, rather than a self-executing INF file. I also provide an
in-depth discussion of the whole issue, so PCR doesn't have to use one of
his Master Posts. He can just point to my article, bg.

| | That happens to be an update to a TZ "fix" that was discussed in
| | this forum via several threads.
| | To combat, or rather address other potential aspects which may be
| | related [or not] Gary Terhune MVP created [or is modifying/creating]
| | a TZ file for all versions of Windows, with the various issues
| | related to other areas of the world [if I remember correctly].
| |
| | http://www.grystmill.com/articles/tz_update.htm
|
| Subsequently, Terhune agreed with John John in another thread that steps
| (g) though (j) [below] would also have to be done after running his
| .reg, but obviously not steps (a) through (h). Looks like the one
| from...
| http://www.mdgx.com/add.htm#TZU
| ...does it's own (g) through (j), though. Terhune had an objection to
| that one, though, for another reason.

Debatable though, but we respect Terhune soo..

DANG, I saw cquirke rolled through,,, did he stay to chat or was this the
immaculate desception... grab him quick before he gets away..

| How to configure daylight saving time for the United States in 2007
| ......Quote.......
| INTRODUCTION
| Because of the Energy Policy Act, daylight saving time is extended by
| four weeks in 2007. This change starts on the second Sunday of March and
| ends on the first Sunday of November.
| ......EOQ.........
|
| The time has come to follow the instructions in that article, or,
| perhaps a bit more clear...
|
| (a) Click TZEDIT.EXE.
| It opens with your time zone selected.
| (b) Click the Edit button.
| (c) Change the Start Day to... Second, Sunday, March.
| (d) Change the Last Day to... First, Sunday, November.
| (e) Click the OK button.
| (f) Click the Close button.
| (g) Click Start, point to Settings, point to Control Panel,
| and then double-click Date/Time.
| (h) Click the Time Zone tab.
| (i) Select a different time zone than (the one you are set at),
| and then click Apply.
| (j) Click (back to the one you were set at), and then click OK.
|
| "Note Steps i and j are required for the new changes to take effect",
| the article says, as does TZEdit's own help screen.
|
| Do so before March 11, 2007. If you cannot get TZEdit.exe from your
| personal copy of the Resource Kit, get it from the above article as
| Candlin saw or from...
|
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/services/tec...Reskit/CONFIG/...,
| as Laura Fredericks did discover, after likely 1/2 ton of clicking
| (although she denies it).
