On Error *
>>>lcComputer = "."
>>>loWMIService = Getobject("winmgmts:\\" + lcComputer + "\root\cimv2")
>>>colItems = loWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_TimeZone")
>>>For Each loItem In colItems
>>>	?"Bias: " + transf(loItem.Bias)  && Offset in minutes
>>>	?"Caption: " + transf(loItem.Caption) && Description of the setting
>>>	?"Daylight Bias: " + transf(loItem.DaylightBias)  && Daylight savings time setting
>>>	?"Description: " + transf(loItem.Description) && Description of the setting

>>>Next

>>>Or you can use the GETSYSTEMTIME() (GMT time) and make the diffence against the GETLOCALTIME() API to get the offset to GMT.
