Time Synch - Change Schedule - How?

[Carl]

Time synchronization is set to weekly. I have a battery
problem on my laptop and for now want to set time
synchronization daily (or even more often than that if
possible). How do I do so?

I'd be just as happy to have a way to invoke something
like atomic clock via a line command (thus using the task
scheduler to get what I want), but can't figure out how
to do that either. So, if there's a line oriented
alternative to atomic.exe, I'd love a pointer to that.

Run the downloaded script and you will be given the option of setting the
interval as you wish.

Open Regedit and navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\N
tpClient

In the right hand pane, r-click on SpecialPollInterval Choose Modify then
choose Decimal. Change the number to1800, which is the number of seconds
between syncs. Press OK and close Regedit.
