Setting time in F18

[Erinn Looney-Triggs]

Dual booting with Windows, HW time is local time, how do I configure
Fedora to not expect UTC time?

Used to be system-config-date, that isn't working so hot right now,
starts up, etc. but does not seem to save the changes. I guess there
used to be an /etc/sysconfig/clock, that doesn't exist.

I feel ashamed to admit I don't know how to do this very basic thing :),
any help?

I used to just edit /etc/adjtime, changing UTC to LOCAL.  

DISCLAIMER---I have a vague memory of someone telling me this wasn't the
right way to do it, but it worked for me.

Buffy: Do---do you think I chose to be like this? Do you have any
idea how lonely it is, how dangerous? I would love to be upstairs
watching TV or gossiping about boys or... God, even studying! But
I have to save the world. Again.

You fix it window site since it's windows that is mishandling UTC time ;)

Open Regedit, drill down to:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation
and create a new DWORD entry named “RealTimeIsUniversal”. Set the value 
to 1.

Now there is an idea I like. Put into place and it seems to work. Thanks
for the suggestion.
