In Windows Mobile I am using FindFirstFile/FindNextFile to search for some files. As part of the results I am getting a WIN32_FIND_DATA structure which contains one search result. This structure contains 3 FILETIME structures for file creation, last write and last access times.

Then I am converting these structures to SYSTEMTIME using FileTimeToSystemTime function. My problem starts here. In the SYSTEMTIME structure hour field does not match the real hour field from the time. I figure out WM is making an adjustment based on time zone and daylight savings time.

For example if time is created on 5:44:30 and I am on GMT +1, SYSTEMTIME structure reports 4:44:30.

I would like to know if anybody has any ideas how to get real time values before this adjustment?

  1. The FileTime you are getting is in UTC, use FileTimeToLocalFileTime before you convert it to SYSTEMTIME.
