I would normally agree.  However, the site I referred to is a well known IT 
Admin site that sells IT software it produces.  It happens to give out a few 
tools (with source) and this was one of them.

If you are worried about running an unknown program, here's a site that has 
a registry file that you can look at and manually make all the registry 
changes:

Just open it up with Notepad and look at it.  It's very obvious that all the 
changes are time zone related.  After looking at it, you can manually key in 
the 698 lines into your registry or follow the instructions on the website 
to run it and install the changes in your registry.

>Surely there is somewhere on Microsoft.com that you can download the fix...

Nope.  Microsoft no longer supports Win98 and does not have a fix (I'm an 
MSDN member and asked).  They only have fixes for Win Server 2003, XP, and 
Vista.
