What's YOUR skill level like in the simple act of adjusting your clock
settings? Minimal, apparently, so here's how to do it:

1. Double click the time in the lower right corner of the system tray.
2. In the dialog box that pops up select the *Time Zone* tab.
3. Use the drop down menu to select the correct entry for "your" TIME
ZONE.
Check "Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes
4. Also, Check the box marked Daylight Savings Time.
5. Then click OK to save it.

Hope that helps,

Here is your chance to show your skill Debbie:

I opened Explorer, selected C drive, clicked on the [+] next to the
windows folder, it expanded the folder:

I have checked "Display the contents of system folders", "Show hidden
files and folders", and I unchecked "Hide protected operating system
files".

In looking at the C:\Windows folder I have no light colored files or
folders.

I have used this station for more than a year and have about 40GB worth
of development tools installed on it, not to mention more than 70GB of
data for projects.

So, oh Wizard of BS, tell me how my computer is susceptible to hackers -
one hint - you can't!

Let's all go to our C: Windows Directory after we have made all of our
files in this directory visible. Tell the group the names of the
Folders and Files which show as a light color and let's discuss this.
Dangerous code is always discovered in this directory, but you need to
enable the Windows Features to (view or show) all Hidden Files. If you
don’t know how to perform this function then this will tell many others
what your skill level is and that is important to hackers to know this.

No, he's right. Basically.

Windows sucks donkey ass. But you already know that deep down inside.
