Time zone change using the command line utility Control.exe (Win2k/WinXP):


Control.exe TIMEDATE.CPL,,/Z (GMT-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada); Tijuana

alternatively:
RUNDLL32.EXE SHELL32.DLL,Control_RunDLL TIMEDATE.CPL,,/Z (GMT-08:00) Pacific
Time (US & Canada); Tijuana

where '(GMT-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada); Tijuana' is the timezone to be
set.

Input value behind /Z is from the Display value under the registry key
'HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones'

You can use the Std value in those registry keys as well, this is equivalent
with "(GMT-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada); Tijuana":

Control.exe TIMEDATE.CPL,,/Z Pacific Standard Time
