What is a good time Sinchro program for Win 2k?
I have used BumpTime with 98SE and found it very good but it does not seem
to like Windows 2000. What I liked about the program was that not only did
it work, was small but it also turned off after it had sincronised the PC
clock.
Appreciate any suggestions.

Hi,

What about net time, native in windows 2k ?
 
Try;
net time /setsntp:192.5.41.209

or any other ntp source of your choosing
(192.5.41.209 = ntp2.usno.navy.mil)
more found at http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/service/time-servers.html

Make sure the Windows Time service is set to 'Automatic'

I've been using nistime-32bit.exe -
ftp://time.nist.gov/pub/daytime/nistime-32bit.exe

Just put the .exe file into a folder of your choice (I just used c:\time).
Run the .exe for the first time. Select to download a list of time servers,
then select one. (this is because the default list is outdated and some of
those servers listed are heavily loaded.) Save the options, and quit the
program Now put the following in your startup folder.

"c:\time\nistime-32bit.exe" ONCE QUIET

ONCE option syncs the time, then quits.
QUIT option is so you don't ever see the program at all.

If you prefer to keep the program running, and sync the time sevral times
per day (which is really not needed), remove the ONCE option. Run the .exe
file, go into it's options, select an update frequency. Save the options,
close it, then eboot. OR you can schedule it with the ONCE and QUIET options
to run several times per day.
