Okay, here is what I tried.

1st Test:

I ran the cab file I found here to fix the time zone issue.
http://www.edgeblog.net/2007/daylight-saving-time-windows-mobile-fix/
Set the Time to 1:50 AM on 3/11/07
Ran a registry save.
Warm booted the unit.

You're certain the registry was persisted before your reset? Do a suspend
resume then a reset and see if that changes the behavior.

I did try a soft reset after making running the registry fix and
unfortunatly, it didn't work. I will try your suggest and try using the
Remote Spy. That is something I have never used so hopefully it is pretty
self explanatory.

Thanks

OK, so it's a WM device. I think that, in order to get the shell, which
is the piece that handles DST transitions to know about your change to
the registry, you're going to have to either soft reset the device
(which starts all of the auto-start programs, including the shell,
again, and this time it will load a different set of registry settings),
or you're going to have to figure out what message is sent from the
control panel when you make a change to the timezone and duplicate that
(you might try Remote Spy++ to see if there's a WM_SETTINGCHANGE message
sent).

For consistency, I'd be much more inclined to just require a soft reset.
You know that it will work. In that case, all you have to be sure of is
that the registry has been persisted before you push the reset button.

I just ran the registry changes for the daylight savings changes and
changed the date and time to 1:59 AM on 3/11/07 and when the time hit
2:00 it didn't change. In order for the time to change to 3:00 like
it should, I have to apply the reg fix and then manually change the
time zone and then exit and then change it back. So my question is,
how can I do this pragmatically? I tried using the opennetcf by
calling the code below however, it still wouldn't work.

OpenNETCF.Web.Services2.TimeZone.TIME_ZONE_INFORMATION originaltz =
OpenNETCF.Web.Services2.TimeZone.GetTimeZoneInfo();
OpenNETCF.Web.Services2.TimeZone.SetTimeZoneInfo(originaltz);
