Linux script on Windows to chjange Date and Time

[Michael Martinez]

FYI (slight off topic but not entirely):

When Windows (any version) boots, it uses the hardware clock to set its 
time and it *always* believes this clock to be your local time.

So be careful with your dual boot computers. Linux may set your hardware 
clock to UTC, which will confuse Windows.
