Does this work for you?

TZI=Time Zone Information
In Windows 95, the time-zone strings are located in the key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\
Microsoft\
Windows\
CurrentVersion\
Time Zones.

For each time zone, the registry key TZI is formatted as follows:

LONG Bias;
LONG StandardBias;
LONG DaylightBias;
SYSTEMTIME StandardDate;
SYSTEMTIME DaylightDate;

You can use this information to fill out a TIME_ZONE_INFORMATION structure, which is used when calling SetTimeZoneInformation().
