Hi

For some reason, people testing software on one of my Windows 2000 Servers
need the date to be set to 9/5/2005 at all times. Is there any way to set the
time to stay on a particular date, and not have to change it every morning?

Thanks

Place a batch file with these lines into this folder:
c:\documents and settings\all users\start menu\programs\startup

@echo off
date 9/5/2005

Thanks for the swift reply, but this doesn't really solve my problem. The
server is never switched off or logged off, as it critical applications
running all the time. I suppose I could create a scheduled task to do this
each day

They are doing testing on a server running critical applications? That is a
Bad Idea. And keeping the date stuck on one day? Even worse. A server
specifically for testing purposes appears to be needed.
