Prepare for Early Daylights Savings

I thought an early Daylights Savings was a joke until I read this in the washintonpost.com:

For the first time in 20 years, daylight saving time will not start on the first Sunday in April. Instead, it will begin three weeks earlier, at 2 a.m. on the second Sunday in March, the 11th. [source]

So what can be done to keep your computer up-to-date?

The Magician Card in Tarot is an organizer, and you can save yourself the hassle of your computer displaying the wrong time (and perhaps interfering with some important functions) by being organized enough to
download a free program from Microsoft named “tzedit.exe”:

"'tzedit.exe' is a simple registry editing program that allows users of Windows 98, NT or 2000 to change the daylight saving time settings for their computers. The whole process of downloading, installing and running the program takes less than five minutes, according to William Purdy, network technician for Northern Networking."
