Time Zones and Daylight Saving affecting file time settings.

That was my first reaction. But you can't stop Windows XP
from changing the time for daylight saving. It doesn't
even ask like 98 used to.

Yes you can turn auto daylight saving time OFF. Look in
the clock properties. There is a button under the time
zone tab.

Thanks I will try that. But it is not much of a choice
either have the clock showig the wrong time or have your
files messed about with.

Interesting. According to this article, XP always date-stamps with
GMT, and adjusts the time it shows for files' dates based on your
chosen time zone/DST settings. So no files are being changed when you
change zones/DST, just how it displays the files' time. And if you
don't like XP changing that, I guess you could set your clock to GMT.

It would be nicer if XP displayed just the datestamp without the
offset, without having to mess up the clock's display. I wonder if
anyone has a tweak to do that?

Double-click on the clock
Select the "time zone" tab
Uncheck the "Automatically adjust clock for daylight savings changes"
You will then have to manually change your clock twice a year, and your file's
"ages" will appear to change by one hour each time, since you are changing the
local time, but the timestamps will be the same.
If you rely on file's ages for things like backup/searching/comparisons, this
may cause errors.
If you copy files back and forth between machines that have this automatic
adjustment enabled differently, or are in different time zones, the file's
timestamps will shift by hours each time.
These are some of the reasons why this was done in the first place.
