of

| | | |
| | | | I don't know what the MDGX fix consists of, they have not

| | the
| | | | code for their fix so I can't comment on it. Gary's fix is
fine

| | for
| | | | the fix to function properly users should be instructed to

Subsequently, Terhune agreed with John John in another thread that steps

.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.

The following is required to do in the USA only...

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).

I had come to almost believe that up-side-down people like Candlin may
legitimately change their dates in October. However, I'm willing to side
with Terhune & say you are correct-- that everyone must do it today!
Anyhow, TZEdit appears to have worked well for me.
