Missing Time Zones

Hi All,

At one of the Windows XP Professional installations, I have discovered
that when you open the Date and Time Properties and check the Time
Zone tab, it shows only one Time Zone entry in the drop down (which is
for the time zone here in India, GMT +05:30 Chennai, Calcutta, Mumbai,
New Delhi). Also the map below shows only the truncated Indian map
instead of the entire world map. This does not let the user change his
Time Zone. I have searched a lot on the web as well as on the usenet
but have not been able to find a way to restore all the time zone
entries.

Any pointers please ?

From another XP system, export this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones

Then, merge the REG file to the 'subject' computer.

Thanks, it worked. Do you have any idea why the registry entries
besides the one for Indian Time Zone would have got removed or deleted
?
 
No idea, really. Another user posted the same question (y'day) and got this resolved.
