In response to Microsoft's $4k fee to businesses for DST fix, while having this free validation-free fix from microsoft (http:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/dst2007<\/a>) vs validation-required update<\/a> also from microsoft for XP SP2,<\/p>\n

Slashdot.org, OmnipotentEntity posted yet another savvy fix, straight to the source, the regedit: <\/p>\n

   " $4K? How about this?<\/p>\n

Open up regedit and go to the following location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\/SYSTEM\/CurrentControlSet\/Contr<\/em><\/em>o<\/em>l\/TimeZoneInformation<\/em>
<\/em><\/p>\n


Change DaylightStart to the following
00 00 03 00 02 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
(Simply we're changing 04 to 03 and 01 to 02)<\/p>\n

Change StandardStart to the following
00 00 0b 00 01 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
(Simply we're changing 0a to 0b and 05 to 01)<\/p>\n

Why those changes?<\/p>\n

DaylightStart rules:
04 becomes 03 because we're going from "April" (04) to "March" (03). 01 becomes 02 because we're going from the 1st Sunday (in April) to the 2nd Sunday (in March).<\/p>\n

StandardStart rules:
0a becomes 0b because we're going from "October" (0a) to "November" (0b). 05 becomes 01 because we're going from the Last Sunday (in October) to the 1st Sunday (in November). <\/p>\n

Consider that one on the house. It works for Windows 2000 at least.<\/em>" <\/div>\n

For PPC (Pocket PC) Windows Mobile v5 users, this key is in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\/TIME\/<\/em> <\/div>\n
