Do not have proper privilege level to change the system time

I am running windows 2000 professional and logged in as
the administrator.

The clock is an hour slow because it never updated for the
daylight savings time.

I try to click on the system time and I get the following
error: You do not have the proper privilege level to
change the system time

Once again, I am logged in as the administrator.

I found this help but I am unfamiliar with the registry so
I don't know if I should do it yet considering the fact
that the administrator can't even change the time.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I think you're looking in the wrong places to change things.

a) Daylight Saving Time: Don't change the time itself but
enable Daylight Saving Time in "Regional Settings". Once
you have done it, the time will set itself automatically.

b) Permission to change the time: Leave the registry
aside. Run gpedit.msc instead, locate "User Rights",
then allow everyone to change the time.
