CAUSE

The Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes option is enabled by default for all time zones that support Daylight Saving Time (DST). If you select a different time zone, the default setting for that time zone is used.

Note that this behavior does not occur during a Windows 2000 upgrade. You are not prompted for the time zone during an upgrade.
