TimeZone /s

Hello -

I´m experimented problems when I try change the local timezone of my windows
vista machine. I´m at Brazil and the DST is not static every year it is
changed by president. So When I try edit it using the timexone.exe too.....
using the syntax... timezone.exe /s 02:0:1:11 02:0:3:02, I got the message "
Access denied".

Please cousl you help solved it?

Thanks}

RE: TimeZone /s

timezone.exe is an ancient (ten years or so) application. It was almost
certainly never tested with Vista.

Based on what little I remember, it tries to change some areas of the
registry that ordinary users do not have access to. Try launching an elevated
command prompt and run the tool from there to see if it works. I would be
willing to bet that it does not use the new APIs that permit ordinary users
to change the time zone.
