I have added the registry entry and disabled the Apple Time Service. However, my Windows time still becomes wrong after booting. I have seen the time briefly jumping to the correct hour, but then it jumps right back to the wrong hour after a while.
 
My guess is that the two operating systems don't recognize the system clock's settings for time zone. I would wager that the time zone variable is local within the operating system, hence, the setting isn't conserved between Windows and OS X. I am located in Eastern Standard Time (GMT -5) and unsurprisingly, the time is always 5 hrs in advance on my Windows side. Attempting to correct the time manually would be futile since that would change the system clock. This is the solution I found in another forum was the edit the Windows registry at:

Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
 SYSTEM
  CurrentControlSet
   Control
    TimeZoneInformation
     RealTimeIsUniversal

and set it to a DValue of 1. I have yet to try this myself so good luck!

Seems to have worked perfectly. This was really getting annoying. Thanks!

Has anyone tried this on windows 7?
 
I have a fix to solve this problem. Its on my mac right now, which is at work right now. i'll have the full detail shortly.

Here's what i remember off the top of my head. First disable internet time syncing on both windows and mac os. Choose the correct time zone in windows. On the mac side, only in the fall/winter choose london time. In the summer you have to choose a city either one hour ahead or behind - thats the part i forget and will check tomorrow.

That should get you the right time.

Have you fix it? I have the same problem...
