Re: copy limitations in NTFS?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I assume that was to show the time on the header, and I saw that this
(non-problem) PC was set to Pacific, not Eastern. However, I have checked
the problem PC (I'm not posting from that one), and the zone and time are
correct.

Again, these posts are sent from a PC which I do NOT have any of these
problems on.

Thanks again
