Hey Trevor, No worries, I will do some further testing.

Thanks Birger, I have included this information in the documentation (http://thinstation.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/ThHowto-timezone) section of the wiki. Under Documentation/Using THinstation in a Windows environment. Stephen, I didn't put up your 'hack' ATM as this looks simpler (and doesn't require changing any registry settings), but if it doesn't prove to solve all TZ problems, I'll change the doco.... Could you check to see if this works for you? Thanks again.
