NTP on Windows - Keeping up with the time

You can easily keep your local clock synchronized on recent versions of Windows

The NTP (Network Time Protocol) allows you to synchronize your local time to the time maintained by a set of servers. All those servers are fed (eventually, somewhere up the chain) by a clock of incredible precision (no, not Big Ben). UNIX users have had this feature since its creation and now it's time (no pun intended) for Windows users to have their day in the sun.

Just go to your start menu, select "Run..." and type "cmd" into the little text box. Click OK and type this line into the resulting command line:

net time /setsntp:pool.ntp.org

Your clock should now remain synchronized and up-to-date until the end of time.
