The Issue

People have reported that although they have manually set the date/time on their computer, this gets changed by the windows time server (time.windows.com) when connected to the Internet and for some reason it doesn't display the right date/time.

2. Go to Tools -> Folder Options
3. Click on the File Types tab
4. Scroll down and select (NONE) Folder as file type

6. Click on New...
7. For the Action type what ever you want the context menu to display, I use Command prompt from here
8. For the Application value type c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe (this will be different on winnt, browse if unsure to your cmd.exe program)
9. Click on OK > OK > Close
