Mike,
I'm not sure that is still the way it works.
Windows systems may still keep time in localtime, but they have mechanisms
to compute UTC or any other localtime from that via the registry.
TZEDIT.exe is your friend.
That is, I believe, still the DEFAULT - the hardware clock is set to
local time.
However, I think MS have had enough grief from people moaning about
servers being physically in one time zone, but logically in several
different/other zones, that it is now possible to configure Windows to
keep the hardware clock in UTC.
Despite booting several OS's on my home pc, I haven't bothered to work
out how this works, so when the clocks change the time on my system
tends to go haywire for an hour or two, until the timeserver software
cleans up the mess.
Cheers,
Wol
