SYNERGIX Time Zone is a Windows application that allows a user to change the time zone without granting membership to the ADMINISTRATORS or POWER USERS group.
By design, on a Microsoft® Windows™ based PC, users are not permitted to launch the Date and Time properties windows by double clicking on the system tray icon. This is the desired configuration to meet the requirements of NASD Rule 6953 (see related links) and to maintain a lockdown Windows XP environment. However, this can also restrict the user, travelling in various time zones to change the time zone settings. Although Microsoft Time Zone utility displays specific time zones in its own applet window, it does NOT allow a regular user to change the time zone.

1The U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005, passed by the U.S. Congress July, 2005, extended Daylight Saving Time (DST) in the U.S. by approximately four weeks. As a result, beginning in 2007, DST will start three weeks earlier on March 11, 2007, and end one week later on November 4, 2007, resulting in a new DST period that is four weeks longer than previously observed. These four weeks are referred to in this article as the "extended DST period".
