Mauritius Daylight Time patch for Windows

Monday, October 27th, 2008 | Uncategorized with 1 Comment

The summertime is on and have just been enjoying the last sunday of october at the seaside on the beach of flic en flac. Everything seems to be quite good. It was easy to turn the clock by one hour ahead but a little more complicated for the computer. Since there is no update yet by microsoft (a release will be available in dec 08), I have decided to do one for the time being. It was easy to create and yet easier to implement. All you have to do is to download the attached rar and extract it.
Then you just have to execute the reg script, but you will need admin priviledge.
After that, you only have to choose the Option Mauritius in the Time setting of your computer.
This fix works fine under windows Xp, but have not yet been tested in Vista. So if you have tested it, just comment about it.
