Windows XP Time Synchronization

[Buford T. Justice]

Is there a registry hack to change the instances when Windows XP will
synchronize the computer time? I would like to change it from weekly to
daily or possibly hourly.

Thanks In Advance,
BTJustice

I figured it out...

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpClient]
"SpecialPollInterval"=dword:00000e10

Check out MVP Doug Knox's site for a utility to do just that

Doug Knox's little VBS script at
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_inet_time.htm makes it very easy.

Thanks for posting that, Buford! I changed mine to once a
day (0x00015180 or 86,400 seconds)
