|| || Anyone had experience with the patch from:
|| ||
|| || http://www.mdgx.com/add.htm#TZU
|| ||
|| || That is:
|| ||
|| || Q931836.exe
|| ||
|| || Thanks!
|| ||
|| || I have a number of 98 systems and I don't want to do them
|| || manually if I
|| || can avoid it.
|| ||
|| |
|| | 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..
| BG

Those are my sentiments too. It's Colorado who first discovered the mdgx
site, & it's up to him to get bloody with Terhune-- not us!

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

I could have used him in a DOS thread or two, but they have dried up
now. Still, it WOULD be nice for someone to grab & hogtie him in a
closet for the next one!

|| 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).
