There is a checkbox at the bottom of the W95 timezone setup screen (the one with the map of the world) that can be un-selected to stop this.

I found that for some reason W95 was putting me a hour forward every time I booted into W95 (about once every other month :), so rummaged around until I found out how to stop it.  Of course, it might have stopped because it realised it shouldn't be doing it in the first place --- Who knows with Lose95.

Cheers, Phil.
