Default Solution! -- OT Kind of -- Daylight Savings Time Issues

What is the recommended procedure for setting the windows time (bottom
right desktop) when the US goes from standard to daylight savings time
in March?

Should I change the Windows clock (bottom right corner)? Any times
or settings to change in IE6 or OE6? Win2000 and IE6 are both up to
"date" as much as possible.

Thanks in advance.

Versions:
OE 6.00.2800.2000
IE 6.0,2800.1106
Win 2000 Prof Version 5.0 Build 2195 SP4


When I attempted to solve that problem on my
Win2K installation, I think I used "TZEDIT".

You can get the file from here. The download
link seems to have been captured OK.

Thanks a lot, Paul! This was quick and easy. After I set the new time change dates, I set the clock to 1:59:50am on the current change day and it advanced the time as it should. Then set time and date back to current.

Looks like this program was from 2007. Interesting that Microsoft didn't include a fix for that in an update -- or maybe they had stopped updating 2000 by then and were pushing a new OS.

Thanks again!!!!
