Telling Windows to use UTC?
I am dual-booting Windows 2000/Solaris operating systems and my INTERNAL CLOCK is set to UTC...by doing this in Windows:
HKLM/SYSTEM/CurrentControl
(REG_DWORD = 1)
Also telling Solaris to do the same with a command..
The ACTUAL DISPLAYED clocks on both desktops are set to local time (PDT)...
But per the instructions, after telling Windows to use UTC by creating that new registry key, then after that, it says to go in the Date/Time settings in the Control Panel and CHECK the box "ADJUST TO DST AUTOMATICALLY".....
If UTC time is CONSTANT or does not adjust during DST....then why does the instructions say to check that box???
Heres the instructions for Windows below:
==========================
Here is a non temporary fix to this problem (from Casper Dick's blog):
- tell Windows to use UTC:
Set the following registry key (it does not exist!)
HKLM/SYSTEM/CurrentControl
In the control panel with Day&Time settings, check the "automatically adjust" check box.
==========================
Thanks

This one....Since Im running 2000 anyway... I have to EDIT this question here...
==========================
Ok,
I am running a dual-boot system running Windows 2000/Solaris...I have already set the INTERNAL CLOCK to UTC... and on both OSs, it has LOCAL TIMES displayed (PDT)..on the desktop clocks currently...
I am thinking about using the time (not the INTERNAL clock) on Solaris and keeping LOCAL TIME under Windows...If I do this, do I need to have the "Adjust to DST time Automatically" under Windows in the Date/Time settings? Or, should I leave it unchecked if I decide to do this..?
My question is....will this cause any time conflicts on both OSs DURING Daylight Savings Time??? Will it cause any conflicts??

I just want to prevent the same problems that I had with the clocks being different from each other during DST and I want to prevent the same thing from happening again if I decide to keep Solaris on UTC and leaving Windows on LOCAL TIME while keeping the INTERNAL CLOCK as UTC. Thats all.

Am I in the right forum or something? I am getting the silent treatment or what?
OK, heres an easier question...
How can I tell in WIndows that the CMOS clock is set to UTC time?
