Keeping Time In Sync

[Neil Daswani]

Hi Folks,

I would like Windows XP to sync its clock with
time.windows.com every time it reboots instead of (the
default) once every week. How would I do this?

I know that I can change the polling interval in the
Windows registry, but I want the sync to occur on every
reboot instead of at specific intervals. How can I
acheive this?

Create a BAT file with the following commands and put it in your Startup
folder.

NET STOP W32TIME
NET START W32TIME

Stopping and restarting the Windows time service forces a time check when
the service restarts.
