Windows Time Zone Editor
You probably know how to change your system's time zone: Open the Control Panel, double-click Date/Time, select the Time Zone tab, select your time zone, and click OK. Select Automatically Adjust Clock . . ., and Windows 98 will even adjust your clock for daylight saving changes.
But did you also know that you can actually edit a time zone--for example, to change the daylight saving rules? Take a minute to dig through the files on your Windows 98 installation CD, and you'll find the Windows Time Zone Editor. Previously available for download as one of the Windows 95 Kernel Toys, the Time Zone Editor lets you modify existing time zones and even create new ones.
Pop the installation CD into your CD-ROM drive, and if the Windows 98 CD-ROM window doesn't appear on its own, open up My Computer and double-click your CD-ROM drive. Point and click where it says Browse This CD, then navigate your way to the tools\reskit\config folder. Double-click Tzedit.exe, and the Time Zone Editor springs to life.
To edit a time zone, select that zone under Time Zones, click Edit, and adjust any of the settings in the Edit Time Zone dialog box. Click OK, click Close, then--assuming you want to apply the new zone to your system immediately--select the revised zone using the Control Panel's Date/Time dialog box.
