Multiple
Time Zones in Vista
Windows Vista
is becoming more popular everyday, but there are still several special
features that no one knows about! Besides the energy saving features
I've written about before, there’s yet another feature that
goes largely unnoticed by the average user. It’s about displaying
time in multiple time zones using Vista’s system clock. It works
very well, particularly since we work with countries all around the
world and are no longer confined to one time zone. It also helps when
you intend to chat with a friend or family member who lives in another
part of the country. Now, instead of calculating different time zones
in your head, you can have a handy toolbar on your Vista computer
that will tell the time for you. Let's check it out!
Setting It Up
1.) The first
step is to right click on the clock in your system tray at the bottom
of your desktop.
2.) Select Adjust
Date/Time.
3.) Next, navigate
your way to the Additional Clocks tab.
4.) Choose the checkbox that you want to show the additional clock.
5.) Now, pick
a time zone and give it a title.
6.) You can add
up to two additional time zones this way.
7.) Apply
your changes.
Using
It
Simply hover
your mouse over the clock in your system tray and you will see the
additional times displayed, right along with your local time. It's
that easy!
Have fun working
with all your different time zones!
