I've long thought that given the USA has several time zones and daylight saving, Windows time handling is rather clumsy. (I believe that when the clocks change, you'll see the times you wrote yesterday's files also appear to change by one hour!)

But if I click on the time in the system tray, the calendar that appears shows "Current time zone: GMT Daylight Time".

I've found the "Active Time Bias" in the registry bytes, at the end. Equals -60 right now. Retrieved by:
