Is there a way to set-up MSWindowsXP (home ed) so that the computer's clock
is reset to the correct time more often than once a week?

Thanks

Well, that seems to have worked very well. Thank you.

However, it appears that there was/is an underlying problem. I have used a
time & date display ever since MSWin 3.11. It appears to run independently
from the computer's clock; at least the computer's clock will update and the
display won't. Is there a display that will show the time (24 hour format)
and date in VERY large numbers, and is free, that anyone can suggest?

Thanks,
Bud
 
Richard,
Well, Karenware does nearly everything I mentioned. It does not show a
date. Also, I am interested in a displayed time/date that can be pinned to
a corner, allowing the rest of the screen to be left free for use as a
desktop. I know, picky - picky - picky. Anyone that can help?

Thanks,
Bud

<BODY onload="UpdateTime" scroll=no>
<div id=Clock>&nbsp;</div>

Put lines in text document, rename to clock.htm, add as a desktop item.
