Wow.... You are really confused.

I may be mistaken but I am not confused. Do you see the difference?

I know. I read his post, and I've replied to it. It came out after my

Message-ID:
"Did you also change your current time zone in "Date/Time" to

Tzedit changes your registry settings, but in order to get those
changes re-read into the OS, it's necessary to change your time zone
in "Date/Time" in the Control Panel to something different, than
change it back.

You felt the need to repost 7 lines of it? Somehow you really annoy

Good luck, and remember to charge your fluxcapacitor.
