Qick and easy Way to Sync System Time with Internet Timeserver?I am writing a windows service which, among other things, needs to sync the
system clock on a periodic basis. Is there a super-simple easy as pie way to do this? [The serive will run on XP] Thanks for your assistance. How about configuring the W32time service to do this on your behalf?

I was looking
around and I found the registry entry for the sync interval for the NTP client.....so I guess I am just going to change that value to the value I need. Show quote "Michael D.
