Windows XP can be set to automatically connect to a time server in order to keep the computer date and time accurate. Your PC must be connected to the Internet in order for the time to be automatically adjusted. You may also go to http://www.time.gov to adjust the time manually.
- Right-click the time in the Taskbar tray and choose Adjust Date/Time.
- Choose the Internet Time tab.
- Check the box to automatically synchronize with an Internet Time Server.
- Choose one of the three time servers (I suggest not using the Microsoft time server because that is the default setting and might be a little busier than the other two servers.)
- Click Update Now to adjust the time.
- Every week the time will be adjusted automatically.
