Apparently not everything is that transparent under windows: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724944%28v=vs.85%2 9.aspx "To inform Explorer that the time zone has changed, send the WM_SETTINGCHANGE message." Or: http://channel9.msdn.com/coding4fun/articles/Changing-time-zones "By itself, changing the time zone doesn't have any apparent effect except in new processes. In order to see the change, you need to send a system notification message. This notification is made by calling SendMessageTimeout with WM_SettingChange and a parameter of "intl".
