What is the recommended procedure for setting the windows time (bottom right desktop) when the US goes from standard to daylight savings time in March?

Should I change the Windows clock (bottom right corner)? Any times or settings to change in IE6 or OE6? Win2000 and IE6 are both up to "date" as much as po

Changing the clock would work, with some side effects possibly owing to the time being kept internally as seconds GMT since some time probably in the 70s.

Some programs might sort something in time order (file creation dates, for example) and those might have an hour jump in them when you change the clock.

Normally DST is just a flag and doesn't change the actual 32-bit clock. The flag is used for rendering the 32-bit time to text.
