I run my machine on UCT, or something like it (timezone +0). Every time

What I'd like to know is, how can I keep Windows from messing with my
clock. I'd really like it to just leave it alone.
Windows initially gets the time from the hardware clock, but it may also
get the time from the internet (NTP protocol?). Since your hardware
clock is set to UTC and you want to keep it that way I suggest you
either tell Windows your timezone is UTC or disable the time update.
Of course, the registry hack should work as well, but you'll have to
remember to do it on the next re-install ;)
Kind regards,
