I hope it's ok to post this here. The Windows 7 sister forum is not working right. I'm pretty sure the same info will apply. (I had Vista until a few months ago, when I accidentally overwrote it. I considered reinstalling, but with only a year left until EOL, decided not to). Here is the problem:
Until yesterday, I was dual-booting W7 and Linux on the same drive. But I changed things around, so that now they are on separate drives. I was expecting this would cause W7 to revert to normal time, but it's still off by 4 hours. Now, I had applied the registry fix (WindowsTimeFixUTC.reg) when I had them both on the same drive, which worked, so that W7 showed the correct time. Now it appears that I need to revert it back, but I don't know how. The tutorial states that you apply another fix, which it gives you, but you have to create the file. That is what I'm not sure about. I created a Word document with the correct info (which the article did provide), and saved it as a .reg file. But I don't know how to get it into the registry. I could try altering the registry manually, but I'm not that brave!
