Default Daylight Savings Patch

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

all versions of Windows, with the various issues related to other areas of
the world [if I remember correctly].

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.

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

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=914387
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 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!

Well, I'm not waiting - I'm done with it already. I did it months ago,
and as far as I'm concerned, I'm through, and moving on to more pressing
things - like using this new "USB 2.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure" for a
perfect partition copy backup of the boot drive (including ALL the directory
and file dates!), and, what a joy it is, compared to the previous, tedious,
procedure, of having to manually swap in/out the backup IDE hard drive each
time!

Default Daylight Savings Patch

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 is confusing, though probably most users will likely not care what
article number is mentioned. However, if MDGX doesn't get article
numbers right, perhaps something else more important is also wrong.
OTOH, article numbers that apply to Win98 are hard to come by these
days. Perhaps MDGX is merely trying to indicate that the thing is meant
to solve for Win98 what those articles are solving for XP/whatever.

When Colorado first posted that one, I did check it WOULD do for my time
zone just what TZEdit did do, just as yours would. That's all I know,
except the lit at their site stongly implies it does include a
..script/.inf that does that final step, which tom now throws doubt upon
it's necessity. But he hasn't flatly said he didn't run the MDGX one.

By the way here are my keys for my time zone, & I only ran TZEdit & did
the zone switch in Time/Date Properties...

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Time
Zones\Eastern]
"Display"="(GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)"
"Dlt"="Eastern Daylight Time"
"Std"="Eastern Standard Time"
"MapID"="38,39"
"TZI"=hex:2c,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,c4,ff,ff,ff,00,0 0,0b,00,00,00,01,00,02
,00,00,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,02,00,02,00,00,00 ,00,00,00,00

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\TimeZoneInformation
]
"ActiveTimeBias"=hex:2c,01,00,00
"StandardName"="Eastern Standard Time"
"DaylightName"="Eastern Daylight Time"
"Bias"=hex:2c,01,00,00
"StandardBias"=hex:00,00,00,00
"DaylightBias"=hex:c4,ff,ff,ff
"StandardStart"=hex:00,00,0b,00,00,00,01,00,02,00, 00,00,00,00,00,00
"DaylightStart"=hex:00,00,03,00,00,00,02,00,02,00, 00,00,00,00,00,00
"DaylightFlag"=hex:01,00,00,00

Too bad I didn't think to check the second one BEFORE doing the
Date/Time Properties switch forth/back!

| newly created sub-keys. All such have "Standard Time" added to the

It also appears to be true of my "Eastern", that "Standard Time" isn't
added to it. However, I can't quite recall that anything was added or
not when I looked at the MDGX data. I do recall the zone dates were the
same for me for sure. I don't still have the download to double check.

Yea.

| 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

| article, bg.

It will STILL be a Master Post-- just an unusally short one, is all!

| | ......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).

Where are these conversations? I cannot find them when I search the
news groups.

I did find one where you pointed out that (g) though (j) should be
run, but no reply from Terhune.

I tested the grystmill patch without running steps (g) through (j) and
it worked. Tested on 98SE by moving the time forward and letting it
pass through 2 AM on March 11, 2007.

So, when does this (g) through (j) issue apply. I have already
applied the patch on a number of systems, I need to know if I should
do the (g) through (j) thing on all systems, some systems, or no
systems.

Gary answering 'John John', agreeing he'd forgotten to add something:

http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion/msg/b62be55998073a81?hl=en

In my 'locale' /they/ haven't changed these self-delusion rules, with
mucking around with /relative/ time, recently so i have only skimmed
through the discussions about it.

I did find one where you pointed out that (g) though (j) should be
