Default TIME ZONE CHANGE AFFECTS APPOINTMENT CALENDAR TIMES

you could save a couple of clicks by creating reg files with the zone data.

I also use windows time zone utilities that show me times in other zones, so
I don't need to change the zone on my laptop.

I know you're a volunteer, helping out because you like doing it, and
not a Microsoft employee.

But the solution you suggest is just not viable or reasonable.

My home office is in New York (GMT-5), but I am currently working
with (and frequently visiting) clients in Tennessee (GMT-6), Italy
(GMT+1), Belgrade (GMT+1), and Australia (GMT+10). And last week I
was traveling in Australia, Japan and Los Angeles, and at various
times had to schedule calls with people in New York, Los Angeles,
Belgrade and London. Plus, I had to figure out if I had free time on
my calendar next week. So getting Outlook to display 2 time zones -
besides being a PITA to accomplish - was pointless.


When I used to travel extensively for work, similarly to your pattern,
the dual time zones worked well. Right-clicking on the time column,
select change time zone, select from the drop down - sure it's four
clicks (which I didn't think was a PITA), but it was fast enough to do
on the fly, and to ensure that I got the meeting times right.
