Is there a way to set your normal non-working hours (e.g., 5 PM to 8 AM) so
that if somebody attempts to schedule a meeting during this time, they are
informed that you are unavailable? The Tools->Options->Calendar Options
window allows you to set a standard "Start time" and "End time", however,
this only appears to change the background color for those hours on your
calendar and is not visible to other users.

In Outlook 2003 and earlier versions, no. In Outlook 2007 with Exchange '12', yes.
