Outlook timezone/daylight savings time prob

I have a couple users who, since DST went into effect, the time stamps on their emails, and their appointments are all off by 1 hour.

I know the fix - tools->options->calendar options->timezone - check the checkbox for DST. But, why doesn't Outlook use the settings on the system, why does it have to have its own?

The actual problem lies in that the user must have local admin rights to check the check box for DST in Outlook. I'm looking to see if I can modify my transforms file to force this checkbox to be checked on new installations.

But what to do about the users that this checkbox is not checked for? It is quite tedious to grant admin rights for each one, change it, then revoke admin rights. Is this setting in the registry somewhere? I don't understand why a user must have local admin rights to check the daylight savings time check box in Outlook.

This always seems to be a problem each spring and fall for users that have received a new system since the last time change - and it always takes these users about 1 week to figure it out and call me.
