New Daylight Saving Change - CAB file available!

17 January, 2007 Posted by SolSie As News, Windows Mobile

Because of the Energy Policy Act, daylight saving time is extended by four weeks in 2007. Hardware/software vendor make you aware how to address this change.

Microsoft has published the details of how to change the registry to support this modification HERE

A third party taken the changes required and rolled them into a CAB file. This CAB file is NOT supported by Microsoft and caution should be taken when making changes to the registry but it may be a useful item for many customers.

One of my readers determined that after you apply the patch, you must manually change your timezone to something else, and then change it back. This forces the phone to re-read the registry. I confirmed this and tested it successfully. If you have used my patch, please change your timezone.

Thanks,

-Bill
