Since I reinstalled my PC with Windows MCE, I've had time troubles. Windows shows the correct time. Most applications show the correct time. But some - I'd noticed this particularly with iTunes and Thunderbird - are three hours ahead. All my email has the wrong time on it, and iTunes keeps resetting my iPod to the wrong time.

I was just doing a bit of digging, and found that Cygwin and Firefox are also screwed up.

And also, it's not that it's 3 hours ahead - it's 21 hours behind.

My timezone is +1000, and currently in daylight saving time, so it's +1100.

And all these unixy-type apps think it's -1000.

Why? Well, I think it has to do with the TZ system variable being set; they're looking at that instead of the proper Windows information. But TZ just says +1000, so why would they do... what they're doing? And it's consistent across all those applications. And how do I unset TZ anyway?
