The DST changeover times are contained in the registry. Each time they change, Microsoft issues an update that corrects the times in the registry. However, you can also download a tool from Microsoft that allows you to edit the changeover yourself, available from here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/8/a/58a208b7-7dc7-4bc7-8357-28e29cdac52f/TZEDIT.exe You just run this little program and it's self-explanatory. It lets you update changeover times for any time zone. I've been running XP for years using its built-in simple NTP client to query the NTP server on my server, which in turn synchronizes with a variety of NTP sources on the Net. It works extremely well, although oddly enough, if I tell it to sync manually it seems to mess up sometimes, while if I let it sync automatically there's no problem. It's set to sync every few minutes, which isn't a problem because it syncs against my own server. -- Anthony _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
