To change your computer's time and time zone
1.. Open Date and Time in Control Panel. Or right click the Clock/Adjust
Date-Time.
2.. On the Date & Time tab, select the item you want to change.
a.. To change the hour, double-click the hour, and then click the arrows
to increase or decrease the value.
b.. To change the minutes, double-click the minutes, and then click the
arrows to increase or decrease the value.
c.. To change the seconds, double-click the seconds, and then click the
arrows to increase or decrease the value.
d.. To change the AM/PM indicator, select it, and then click the arrows.
3.. To change your time zone, click the Time Zone tab. In the box above
the map, click the drop-down arrow, and then click your current time
zone.
Notes
a.. Windows uses the time setting to identify when files are created or
modified.
b.. If you want your computer's clock to be adjusted automatically when
daylight saving time changes, make sure the Automatically adjust clock
for daylight saving changes check box is selected. This setting is
located on the Time Zone tab.
c.. Most computer clocks are regularly synchronized with a network time
server (if you are a member of a domain) or an Internet time server
(when you connect to the Internet).

Right click on the file and click properties. Uncheck the read only box. If
that doesn't work try rebooting in safe mode. Go to run, type in msconfig
and under the startup panel check the safe mode box.

Hope this helps

Hi,

A) "Read-only" has nothing to do with your problem. The problem is that the
files and folders are owned by the prior operating system.

B) You need to take ownership of them. Right-click the folder, select
properties. Go to the security tab and click advanced. You can take control
of the folders on the owner tab. For the security tab to appear in a WinXP
Pro system, you must disable simple file sharing in the control panel/folder
options/view tab. For a WinXP Home system, you must restart in safe mode and
logon as administrator. More details here:

HOW TO: Take Ownership of a File or Folder in Windows XP [Q308421]
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=308421

An additional note for WinXP Pro users: This procedure will not help you
recover data if the files are encrypted. All you will be able to do is
delete them. To recover encrypted files you will need the original
encryption certificate or a Recovery Agent from the installation under which
they were encrypted. Without one of these, the files are not recoverable.

Hello All,

I have Win XP Profession on laptop Compaq presario 2500, 512 MB RAM,
40GB hard disk, Pentium 4 processor. Just few days back my registry was
corrupted and couldn't be recovered. I re-installed OS and all the
softwares (big pain!!)

Things appeared going fine since, my data was all intact, but then I
realized I couldn't delete certain files. One of them was jdk 1.3/src
folder. This folder and files inside this have become read-only. I have
administrative privileges, there is no application using jdk 1.3 source
files but still I can't delete these files. I tried re-booting but no
use. It always says, access denied. Device read only or file in use.
Appearantly my had disk is behaving like read only CD.

Please, somebody help me in this. Although these files are just 30MB,
thought that, I can't delete files on my laptop is uncomfortable.

I just hope Sun Microsystem hasn't done some trick so that jdk/src files
can't be deleted from windows machine

Best Regards,
Pravin

Hello Wesley,

I am very sure that my clock is going fine, including day light saving
time. I am from Boston zip 02120, MA, USA and current time in Boston is
7:35 pm on 1st Dec 04 now. I think you must be somewhere on west coast.
but I am stunned at your reply!

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the posting host you are using has it's
time set incorrectly, you're posts are showing 3 hours in the future.
It's not your computer, it the news server you are posting too.

I'm in Ohio, we are in the same time zone, and all your posts are +3
hours.

No, it is not fine. Your message is time-stamped 8:35pm (MST). It
is now 6:05 MST time here, so your message should be some time
before that (each of us the time stamp in our own local time).

If your time is right, your time zone is almost certainly set
wrong.
