re: Files time are off by one hour since DST change Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 7:56 am Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Jacques Pelletier (3 messages posted) I was using Total Commander to do the synchronisation. Fortunately, here's an extract of Total Commander's Help about this problem: "NTFS daylight saving correction Ignore 1 hour time delay This option lets Total Commander ignore this 1 hour difference in the time stamp in 'Synchronize dirs' and other compare functions. Reason: When using Windows NT, 2000 or XP, it's possible to use two file systems, FAT32 or NTFS. While FAT32 stores the local time of files, NTFS stores the GMT (English standard time) of the files. When going from Summer (daylight saving) time to Winter (normal) time, the local timestamps on FAT32 will remain the same, while files on NTFS drives will have the time changed by 1 hour because the time zone difference to GMT changes by one hour. Therefore files on FAT32 and NTFS drives which had identical times before the time change will suddenly be different. Thanks to this function, the files can still be detected as identical."
