TZAdjust IconTZAdjust, one of our freeware products, was created for users who find it necessary to make manual changes to the time zone and 'day light savings' offset parameters for their Windows XP and above computers. 

TZAdjust is probably of greatest interest to Windows NT & above users. The NT-class operating system returns time information as an offset from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). In addition, the OS automatically makes Daylight Savings compensations when reporting file times. One can disable "Automatically Adjust for Daylight Savings" entirely in the Windows Day/Time Properties dialog but there may be other instances where finer control over time zone and the daylight offset is desired.

If you are not already familiar with now Windows handles time-related events please do a search of the Microsoft Knowledge Base for terms such as "Time Zone" or "Daylight Savings". Article Q129574 provides a good summary of this NT/2000/XP behavior.

Notes
  • Changing time zone-related settings on your computer will probably have implications beyond reported file times by Explorer or Directory Toolkit. For example, events listed in the computer event log may be affected. Likewise, clients on an Exchange server may find that their emails show the wrong time stamp.
  • Additional Background: Our Directory Toolkit utility has the ability to compare two paths for alike vs. different files using names, size, & time stamp. Users sometimes note that the Windows Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) operability of the reported file time stamps complicates path comparisons. For example, if all your computer's are not set to the default Daylight Savings settings, changes from daylight & standard time will result in path comparisons that was previously synchronized may suddenly show up as being out of synch by an exact hour value. TZAdjust can be used to address this behavior. However, casual use of TZAdjust to thwart how Windows handles offsets for file time reporting is not recommended. Please see our own document, "Daylight Savings, Standard Time & Reported File Times" for further description and suggestions for Directory Toolkit.
