Setting the Clocks Back and Windows 2000?

O.K., here we are, November 4, 2007. Daylight Savings time is over, and it's
time to set the clocks back.

What's different this year is that, even after a reboot, Windows 2000 did
not prompt me to accept a new clock change, nor did the clock on my computer
go back automatically. It did go back on my XP computer, though (no
prompting to accept the update).

In Win2K, when I go to Settings > Date/Time Properties | Time Zone,
"Automatically adjust clock for daylight savings changes" is checked.

I don't want to manually adjust the Win2K time back one hour unless I'm sure
that the time won't get set back automatically at some later date. What
gives? How to I get Win2K to obey the clock changes?

Thanks,

Vic

For me, the clock went an hour back last week. However, this is wrong!
It should be today. I am pretty sure I have the patch too!
