It's annoying that the Windows clock program won't let you select a time zone. 
I've written a tiny Windows (98, XP) program called UTC that displays the time 
and date in UTC on the screen when your system clock is set to your local time. 
  It figures out UTC from the time zone information made available by windows. 
It  can be resized, locked in place, set to stay on top, etc. to fit in with 
your desktop.  It's a big help in logging.

It is freeware as long as you promise to operate only CW for a week (just 
kidding).  You can download it by clicking <http://www.qsl.net/k2vco/utcv01.zip>
Just unzip it and read the UTCREADME.TXT file.
