>Windows and Daylight Saving Time
>By Jayson Smith
>
>This issue is important if you live in the United States and have a
>Windows PC. Because of recent rule changes, Daylight Saving Time was
>extended starting
>in 2007, and unless you make some changes, your system's clock will
>not be accurate. Unlike other problems that become a big deal when
>Microsoft does this
>or that, when this or that product is updated or discontinued, etc,
>this issue has a very specific time at which it will bite you. At
>2:00 AM local time
>on Sunday March 11, 2007, your system's clock will be one hour slow.
>This will continue for three weeks, until the old rules call for
>Daylight Saving Time
>to take effect, on Sunday April 1, 2007, at 2:00 AM. At that time,
>everything will be back to normal, and you will have an accurate
>clock once again. The
>problem will resurface at 2:00 AM on Sunday October 28, 2007, when
>the old rule has Daylight Saving Time end, and last for one week,
>during which time
>your system clock will be one hour fast. There will be similar
>periods of inaccuracy in future years. This document describes a way
>to fix this problem
>by editing your Windows timezone data to reflect the new changes.
>Windows Vista has these changes installed already from the factory,
>so you don't need
>to worry about this if you're running Vista. In addition, there is an
>update for supported Windows operating systems to make these changes,
>but this method
>can be used if you don't want to bother with that. This method also
>works on operating systems that are no longer being supported by
>Microsoft, such as
>Windows 95/98/98SE.
>
>To do this, you first need to download the timezone editor program
>here.
>Unzip the file into your windows directory. Now you need to run the
>tzedit.exe program from the Start, Run dialog. A window will pop up.
>You will be in
>a list of the available timezones, with your current timezone already
>selected. If you live in the United States, you will almost
>definitely want to edit
>this timezone, so tab to the "Edit" button and click it. A new dialog
>will come up. Tab over to the Daylight Saving Time section, and
>change the combo
>boxes for the days. Currently, the "Start Day" boxes will read "First
>Sunday of April," and you want to change them to "Second Sunday of
>March." Likewise,
>for the "Last Day" combo boxes, change them from "Last Sunday in
>October" to "First Sunday in November." These are standard combo
>boxes, so arrowing through
>them will make all of this self-explanatory. Don't change the time
>edit boxes or anything else. Click "OK" to save your changes. Now
>Shift+Tab over to
>the list of timezones and arrow until you get to another timezone you
>want to edit. For completeness, I always edit all of the US
>timezones. These include
>"(GMT-05:00) Eastern (US and Canada)," "(GMT-06:00) Central (US and
>Canada)," "(GMT-07:00) Mountain (US and Canada)," "(GMT-08:00)
>Pacific (US and Canada);
>Tijuana," and "(GMT-09:00) Alaska." You don't need to edit "(GMT-
>10:00) Hawaii," because Hawaii does not observe Daylight Saving Time.
>If you live in
>some parts of Mexico that use US Pacific Time, the Daylight Saving
>Time dates have not changed. To deal with this, you will need to
>create a new timezone,
>set the GMT Offset to - 08:00 and use the old Daylight Saving Time
>dates described above. When you're all done, click the "Close" button
>to exit the program.
>
>Once you've edited your timezones, you need to go into your system's
>Control Panel, and select the Date/Time option. On Windows 98SE, the
>Timezone selection
>is on the Date/Time tab, while on XP, there is a separate Timezone
>tab. In any event, find the timezone selector, and arrow up once then
>down once to reselect
>the current timezone, then hit Enter, and exit the Control Panel. At
>this point your system should be ready to deal with the new Daylight
>Saving Time rules.
>
>If you have any questions about this process, please don't hesitate to
>E-mail me.
