Can that even be done without a kludge? The only method I can think of would be to adjust the Windows time when it boots, and to ensure Windows never updates the hardware clock. My TZ is GMT +2, and on my own dual-boot machines I had to decide whether *nix or Windows would have broken time settings. I'm happy to report that the decision was really a no-brainer... alan -- Optimists say the glass is half full, Pessimists say the glass is half empty, Developers say wtf is the glass twice as big as it needs to be?
