You can't blame them for that :-)

The guy is me. 
Notice that I account the fact that W2K and XP by default store the
Israeli timezone settings under "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones\Israel Standard Time" and not "Jerusalem
Standard Time" (as opposed to NT)

If you do not want to confuse the users by having double entry for
Israel, you need to get rid of "Israel Standard Time".
More then that, your reg file will create on XP 2 timezone entries with
the same index of 0x87 (135) (one Jerusalem TZ and one Israeli TZ),
which has been proved in my tests to make XP very unhappy puppy.


Cheers,
Guy
