I am examining an Windows 7 registry. I want to find out time zone information, so I go to registry SYSTEM\ControlSet001(or002)\
Control\TimeZoneInformation\StandardName

Normally, time zone information should be there, and I have done this a lot of times, however, in this computer, instead of time zone information, I see the following information.
@tzres.dll, -362

What does this mean? I searched it on the net and result.

And I made another seach about timezonekeyname which is another key in same place of the registry, and I have found this link;

What dou think about it?

It appears that rather than strings, the information is being referred to in a DLL, much like icons or dialogs, in some cases. Rather than writing and maintaining a string, the ordinal within a DLL is referenced…that way, the only thing that needs to be done during an update is to change the DLL.

Here's some info that may help in understanding what's going on
