[time-nuts] Setting Windows XP clock.

[Ed Palmer]

You don't need an app.

1. Right click on the time display in the task bar.
2. Select 'Adjust Date/Time'.
3. Click on the 'Internet Time' tab.
4. Type in any server you want.  I suggest 'us.pool.ntp.org'.  This 
gives you access to a pool of servers so that if one is down or wrong, 
the next one will correct the error.

This isn't just for XP.  Any program or OS that accesses an NTP server 
by name can do this.  If you don't need the kind of precision or 
tracking that a full NTP client provides, using the server pool is 
probably the best way to go.
