Thanks. But... it appears to only be applicable for mobile devices and/or computers with Auto Updates enabled and on XP SP2 or later. I run XP SP1 and don't run Updates.

Oops, I didn't see that the laptop was a day behind. :blush:

Greg, time to update to SP2.

He wont ;), I have said that to him a number of times now & he won’t as he is not happy with SP2.

Plus the old saying if it’s not broken why fix it.

649954 2008-03-17 19:49:00 Well, you cant please everybody, Microsoft did a relatively good thing with XP SP2... If you try and please everybody you'll end up pleasing nobody.

For the rest of us, we have the luxury of auto-corrected daylight savings time.
For the minority, they simply have to change it manually... Big deal... :-/

649956 2008-03-17 20:25:00 For the minority, they simply have to change it manually... Big deal... :-/Actually it's bloody irritating as I spend so much time in front of my computer and rely on the clock quite a lot. Since the change I've had my PC's clock thrown out of sync about 5 times, including AGAIN this morning! grr :angry Greg (193)
