Not much of a pain here on Windows 7. Right-click the clock at lower
right corner of the screen, choose "Adjust date/time," click "change
time zone," pull down "(UTC) Coordinated Universal Time" from the list,
OK out and you're done. Very straightforward. You could go the long way
through Control Panel if you wanted, but why bother?
BTW, in my experience Windows has usually defaulted to US Pacific Time
out of the box (I guess 'cause that's where M$ lives), so I've had to
change the time zone whenever I bought a new machine, but one it's done
and daylight saving time is enabled, I never have to think about it again.
That just sets the display of the clock in Windows not when referencing
the clock set in CMOS. Windows assumes motherboard has *localtime* not
UTC so if your are not online yet the clock retrieved from CMOS will not
show the correct timezone...
To use UTC in CMOS and show local time zone in OS in Windows uses a
registry edit, see:
