There is a registry tweak for for XP so that you can have the
hardware clock set to UTC, and still have the time correctly
displayed for the time zone you have set. It is supposed to bother
some programs, but I have not run into any yet. (Then again, I don't
run XP that often.)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation]
"RealTimeIsUniversal"=dword:00000001
