For most windows operating's system 95, 95b, 98se, me, and nt based
system. The old windows 95/nt kernel toy called tzedit.exe will
work. Not a toy now? I still have it.
Indiana may need the tool next year as well.
Most of Indiana will be on Eastern daylight time next year unless
counties petition to be on Central time. Vigo county (Terre haute)
is going to petition to be on Central time
Of course the Indiana legislators could repeal it next session. (2006)
They would have to get enough votes to overturn the governors veto.
Am I allowed to repost that tool? Do I need Microsoft permission to
do it? How do I get that permission?
tzediit.exe will still work for xp sp2 and will as 95,98,98se,nt and
xp, xp sp1, xp sp2
I could even post it here in zip form.
