by 1 hour. How do I make it stop adjusting these appointments?

Outlook 2003 on Windows XP and WinMo 6 standard on my phone. I travel often
between 2 timezones and don't use Exchange or anything else fancy. I've read
some of these other posts from those who have real issues with this topic.
I'm almost embarrased to say I just want a simple on/off switch so my
overtaxed brain doesn't have to perform mental gymnastics.
 
Stop changing your time zones. if you are syncing with a device that uses a
different time zone, both need to be on the computers time or or you'll need
to stop syncing.

Unfortunately, there is no on/off switch. If you are changing zones, you'll
need to either stop changing the time zones or stop syncing when the
computer and device are not using the same zone.

When you make appointments, make them for the correct time in the correct
zone - if you are in Eastern and making an appointment for 9 AM Central
time, use the correct time (10 AM Eastern) - do not enter it as 9 AM because
it will move to 8 AM when you change time zones.

All day events will keep jumping between 1 and 2 days each time you change
the time zone. Make them 1 day in the zone you use the most and learn to
ignore them when they run from 11 to 11 or 1 to 1.
