Re: time tracking function in radio controlled clocks

If you have Windows XP you don't need any extra software.

You do however have to mess with the registry settings if you want to
increase the default frequency which it check the time.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314054/EN-US/#EXTERNAL

Here is the short version:

a.. Double-click the time on your task bar.
b.. Click the Internet Time tab.
c.. Select the time server you want to use and make sure to select the
Automatically synchronize with an Internet time
server check box.
Then

To change the interval that Windows updates the time using the internet time
servers

Run regedit, then navigate to:
1.. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services
\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpClient
2.. Select "SpecialPollInterval"
3.. Change decimal value from 604800 to a different decimal value in
seconds. i.e.: 86400 (once a day) or more often then that.
Of course only do this if you feel comfortable editing the registry.

Here is a little utility that does nothing more than edit the registry for
you if you don't like messing with regedit:

You only need to run it once to change the settings.

It relies on XP time service for the time sync itself.
