Here is how people booting into Linux can keep local time on Windows while
the computer hardware is set to UTC as Linux / Unix / BSD etc. wants.

Take notepad and open a blank file using File > New and put the three lines
below into that file and save it as utc.reg on the desktop.


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation]
     "RealTimeIsUniversal"=dword:00000001


Now select the file and left click it and you will see "merge" that is what
you want to do.

It will merge with your registry and you can now set your hardware clock to
UTC like Linux / BSD and other operating systems want while the clock on
the desktop will allow you to select your local time zone, like PST or EST
or whatever.

This info is difficult to find.

OK, how are the bands?
