If I read the initial posting again it seems to me the OP wants to set the computer's time zone to UTC (On my Windows 2000 system Casablanca is labelled as "GMT" without switching to DST) but wants to have the Norway local time displayed on that machine anyway, which means the UTC time on that machine would be wrong by some hours. We have had a couple of customers who wanted to run a similar setup. One group of customers wanted to do so because they just didn't understand that unlike old DOS most current operating system distinguish between UTC and a local time. The other group wanted to do so because they wanted to run some crappy piece of software which didn't account for the difference between UTC and local time, e.g. because the application writes a log file which shall display timestamps in local time but the system call used to get the time stamps for the log entries return the system's UTC time. In the latter case the best advice is to kick the authors of the software and have them fix their application.
