File time stamps under Win32 are universal time, essentially Greenwich Mean
Time.  When a program displays a file's time it calls Windows to convert to
the local time which Windows would then adjust to the appropriate local
time.

If need more information about the specifics of that, it is sitting right
there in your computer.  Try it.  Change the date and time, play with files,
restore the date and time and look at what Explorer says the file times and
dates are.
