File Creation/Change Time?

[eamc]

I am "synchronizing" files between a Win2k and a Win98 computer, and notice that in Win2k, a file creation/change time adds one hour when daylight saving time rolls around, while in Win98 the time appears to stay unchanged. So at DST time, hundreds of files suddenly have to be synchronized, flowing from the later to the earlier - even if they were created at the same time and only differ by 60 minutes exactly. Is this something I can change with an option?

We are noticing the same thing here. I don't know what the solution is at this point but would appreciate any input.

Apparently this is a bug that goes back to NT 3.1 but Microsoft has neglected to fix it.

I'm not sure if turning off the automatic adjustment for daylight savings would fix this.

Turning off the daylight saving time, I think, would definitgely fix the problem, but seems too strong medicine, since your time will be off in summer. What about simply flowing all from A>B when DST comes in, then again when it goes out, i.e. twice a year? If the files are intact on both computers, is that OK? - it seems the only solution?
