Guest Adam Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Is it possible to make Win98SE interpret system clock as UTC (not local)? If so, how? The registry change (below) did not work. =================================================================== REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation] "RealTimeIsUniversal"=dword:00000001

Right click on the time display and select Adjust Time/Date You can set time to any time zone you like, discontinue summer time adjustments etc. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada)
Guest Jeff Richards Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Re: how to make Win98SE interpret system clock as UTC (not local) As far as I can tell, this setting originates with NT (and didn't work properly there) and therefore never applied in Windows 9x. It seems it's not possible to do what you want. You could experiment with setting it to UTC and working out what fudge was needed in tmezone settings to get the correct display, but that creates problems of its own. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "Adam" <adam@no_thanks.com> wrote in message news:gd5jk8$9mt$1@registered.motzarella.org... > Is it possible to make Win98SE interpret > system clock as UTC (not local)?
