winxp hour fast after boot - with dst patch - and tzedit.exe?

[Guest]

When I boot, my system tray clock is an hour fast. I can fix it by
double-clicking on the tray clock, choosing the Internet Time tab, and
clicking the Update Now button to synchronize with time.windows.com.

This has been happening after I applied the winxp sp2 update for the new
daylight savings time and the new start date has passed. I have received
help from Microsoft for an Office 2007 install, and may have applied txedit
also. It occurs to me that the "extra help" may have set my computer's
hardware battery clock ahead an hour twice.

I am theorizing that the Internet Time synchronization may not be updating
the hardware clock, but that Windows gets the hardware time on boot. Now, to
remember how to set the hardware time... Use the old DOS TIME command?

Any comments?

I will post again if the TIME command works...

To be sure you cand check and set it in the BIOS.

Why are you telling me that? I already know that, I simply told the
user that he could check it in the Bios to satisfy himself that the
changes were indeed made. If you can help the op please reply to him.

And speaking of time you should adjust your clock, you're posting in the
future.

Modifying the set time in windows also changes the time in the cmos, via
basic bios setup. And, vice versa.
