Sometimes, you may want to change the
Time Zone setting on many computers at the same time. This hotfix lets you change the
Time Zone setting on a computer to the
(GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada) time zone.
After you install this hotfix, the following registry subkey is modified so that it uses Eastern Time time zone information:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation
We recommend that you only modify this registry subkey by using this hotfix or by using another method or tool that does not modify this registry subkey directly. This registry subkey should not be modified by Registry Editor or by other tools that directly modify this registry subkey.
Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.
