What would a reasonable check be? I can start the Windows command
prompt and type "time /t" which gives me the current local time
(adjusted for daylight savings). In the Windows Date/Time dialogue
there is a "Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes"
checkbox, which is checked. I don't know what registry setting this
maps to, though.
