NT4 Timezone Fix

Only recently realised that the default time for the clocks to change on Windows NT is an hour later than it should be in the UK, meaning that if the clock change to GMT or DST at 2pm, the NT servers default to 3pm. To change this, here's the registry script to do so, plus a link below with some info regarding the variables in the script:

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation]

"Bias"=dword:00000000"
StandardName"="GMT Standard Time"
"StandardBias"=dword:00000000
"StandardStart"=hex:00,00,0a,00,05,00,02,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
"DaylightName"="GMT Daylight Time"
"DaylightBias"=dword:ffffffc4
"DaylightStart"=hex:00,00,03,00,05,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
"ActiveTimeBias"=dword:ffffffc4

Pretty sure you need to restart the server for the change to take effect! Bring on the next clock change!
