Thank you to Microsoft

I wish to thank Microsoft for changing all the dates on my PC so that the
Pen Drive I use to carry around applications to and from my laptop are now
one hour out of sync and my compare utility says they are not the same. OK
they are not the same because the time has shifted. Maybe I should have two
pen drives, one for standard time and one for daylight 'slavings' time.
Joy!
Multiposted to give some people a reason to complain.

So let me get this straight. You are complaining because your computer auto
adjusted for daylight savings time? You should be complaining about your
compare utility you mention...that's where your problem lies.

Each and every installer keeps a track of date and time in the registry.
Even after you uninstall the application traces of it are left behind in
the registry. Many programs keep temporary files in your \Documents &
Settings\ folder as well as .dll's in your \WINDOWS\System32\ folder,
its not worth the effort. Thus, running applications from a pen drive is
not recommended.

What changed all the dates on your PC. Microsoft nor Vista has a habit
of doing that. Now about time change. Updating your time is a default
process, but you can turn that off if you like. Of course then the time on
your computer would be of by an hour and without synchronizing it will
slowly become less accurate.

Frankly I believe you beef might be with the Pen Drive and it's
software. I would suggest looking for an answer there.

BTW while computers can be frustrating from time to time, they very
seldom respond to complaints, but asking questions about how to make them
work the way you would like usually produces results. Trying to find an
answer is far more likely to be productive and to solve your problem than
just complaining.

Now I know who among you are paid my M$.

There is absolutely no reason to change the times on files on the PC.
There were created and modified when they were created and modified.
MS has no business changing the times!
Times should include the zone and/or season information but MS is not smart
enough to do that.

No one that participates in this newsgroup is "paid" by Microsoft.

BULLSHIT. You mean to say you don't get paid in free software? Do you
report that free software to the IRS as income?

I bet you don't but you would be first to scream to high heaven if
anyone should crack Windows and not pay for it.

What part of peer-to-peer don't you understand? You hate everything
Microsoft.

How about that **** OS Ubuntu that is on less than ONE PERCENT of the
desktops? Pretty exciting for you. Imagine, in 5 years Ubuntu will have
200 users! HA HA HA HA

People would rather pay for Microsoft than use a FREE Linux OS. That is a
FACT

Are you the idiot complaining the other day about powering down your PC and
removing the power cord because little green men were dancing inside your
computer?

But Carey keeps on trying. He is a volunteer shill for anything from
MS. His recommendations of OneCare are the stuff of legends and
bordered on being spam.
