=======================================<br>
</font> If you'd like Windows to synch the time more or less
frequently, you can change the interval by editing the registry. Here's
how:<br>
1. Open your favorite registry editor. <br>
2. Navigate to the following key in the left pane:<br>
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpClient.
<br>
3. In the right pane, double click the entry called SpecialPollInterval.
<br>
4. In the Base section of the Edit DWord Value dialog box, click the
Decimal option button. <br>
5. Enter the desired interval in seconds (3600 = 1 hour, 1800 = 30
minutes, 86400 = 24 hours, and so forth). <br>
6. Click OK and close the registry editor. <br>
