Daylight Saving Time - Windows Mobile Fix
When I docked my new Pocket PC (HP rx5915) with the PC at a client's office, ActiveSync immediately reset the clock back one hour and all of the new appointments were one hour off. I made sure that all of the Microsoft DST patches were applied, with the Outlook DST tool/patch. I would reset the time on the pocket pc device, which would be reset by ActiveSync on the next sync.
The solution, discovered through trial and error:
Once you apply the patch, you must manually change your timezone to something else and click apply. After that, change it back to your correct time zone. This forces the Pocket PC to re-read the registry file.
From this point onward, neither the trial copies of Pocket Informant or Agenda One could get it right. However, the default calendar had no problems.

Hi, Joe. Thanks for posting this extra step. I got pretty frustrated when the 'fix' from Microsoft didn't work. You solved it! -- dave@davedomingo.com
