Well, it does it right, but the functionality looks to be more "politically correct" than I am really after. Though this app will be communicating across time zones, I don't really care to make a file's age relative to the local machine, I want to make equal to the time on a corresponding server file. It looks like I can do it by grabbing the ActiveTimeBias from the registry and converting from it's DWORD to a minute offset, but I would rather not if I don't have to.

So- you have more tricks up your sleeve?
