Double-click on the clock
Select the "time zone" tab
Uncheck the "Automatically adjust clock for daylight savings changes"
You will then have to manually change your clock twice a year, and your file's
"ages" will appear to change by one hour each time, since you are changing the
local time, but the timestamps will be the same.
If you rely on file's ages for things like backup/searching/comparisons, this
may cause errors.
If you copy files back and forth between machines that have this automatic
adjustment enabled differently, or are in different time zones, the file's
timestamps will shift by hours each time.
These are some of the reasons why this was done in the first place.

|Interesting. According to this article, XP always date-stamps with
|GMT, and adjusts the time it shows for files' dates based on your
|chosen time zone/DST settings. So no files are being changed when you
|change zones/DST, just how it displays the files' time. And if you
|don't like XP changing that, I guess you could set your clock to GMT.

|anyone has a tweak to do that?
