I think that is best, to do as the update does, instead of as the
article says, when there is a difference. I'm sure it will surface soon,
IF someone in Saskatchewan or Albuquerque is getting the wrong stuff-- &
a new update will be issued! That will happen on the Second Sunday in
March at 2:00 PM, except maybe for Candlin & other Australians. OK,
then.

| HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Time
| Zones

| Well, all right, I guess you've got it all covered. It's a little
| disconcerting that neither you nor MDGX may precisely match the
| values in the MS article, but I haven't the time to do a full-scale
| investigation. Probably, going with the ultimate actual changes to
| the XP machine of the TZI values is the correct way. OK, then. OK,
| bye. That was an impressive write-up on the issue, too, at your site.

| | Yea. OK. I wonder, did you carefully compare your Registry

| |
| | (a) Some values names.
| | (b) The addition of MapID's.
| | (c) The subtraction of XP/Vista stuff irrelevant to Win98/ME/2K.
| |
| | I should take in your finalized one shortly. But really I need to
| | replace McAfee before fooling with anything else!

| | | All MDGX is doing is automatically launching the Date/Time
| | | applet. Not a bad idea, but I prefer the instructions being
| | | auto-presented. Can only shove so much into a user's face
| | | before they get terminally confused (if you'll pardon the pun.)

| | | Naturally, that still involves sitting at each machine to do
