Hi Eric, are you sure this will not break compatibility with WIn2k3 applications? For example by quickly googling I've noticed some people rely on this Index value for their Time Zone stuff.
Example: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/24948382/How-to-get-Time-Zone-index-from-registry-in-windows-Vista-onwards.html
Also, since http://microsoft.public.win32.programmer.ui.narkive.com/SOU9r3ef/time-zones-in-registry clearly says that the "IndexMapping" reg_multi_sz is for doing the mapping with the "Index" values of each time zone, you could have also deleted it! (note that this mapping value is indeed absent on Windows 7 for example).
Cheers,
Hermès
