Windows XP time synchronize

[matofthemint]

On my machine, the Internet Time Synchronization is set for once a week. It used to be daily. How can I change it back to daily?

The time interval of the update is set at 7 days by default, this can be changed in the registry:

• Start the Registry Editor
• Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ W32Time \ TimeProviders \ NtpClient \
• Double-click the SpecialPollInterval value, and change the Base of the Value data to Decimal
• Now change the Value data to the time interval you desire, noting that the time is given in seconds (so for 1 day the value would be 86400, while the default (7 days) is 604800
• Close the registry editor
