Guest jd Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 I was checking some copies of a file that I regularly backup by appending the date and time to the filename. In Windows Explorer, when I now check these backup files (when UK time is GMT + 1 hour daylight saving) the ones that were stored during the winter (when UK time was GMT) have a time that is 1 hour ahead of the time appended onto the filename. Is this the way that Windows works? Is there an option to make Windows Explorer display the time as it appeared to be when the file was created/modified, and if there is, would there be any side effects in using it?
