TimeSync gets the current time from a NIST server and adjusts the PC clock if necessary. It will try alternative servers in case the time cannot be obtained from the first server. You can use the "/auto" parameter to run TimeSync so that it will automatically synchronize the time without user action.

As a couple of others have stated, this utility is completely unnecessary for Windows XP, Vista and Win7 because they already have time synchronizers built in. Other than for a school assignment for 'Intro to Programming 101,' I have no idea why someone would waste their time writing it.

In my eternal quest for optimization I (accidentally) removed NTP support from my XP installation through nLite, so this program is very useful to restore lost functionality at a small footprint :)

Emsisoft Anti-malware scan found DealHelper.com malware... which is strange because I've been using it for years. Anyone?

Windows 2000 (in particular) doesnt have a time service control panel and so this app is useful on those systems, especially when they are not part of a domain. When you join a 2000 server to a domain then it syncs to the time of the domain controller by default. For XP and Vista, they have control panels that allow you to configure the time client.

Looks nice but afraid that i'm behind a firewall so cannot use it :(

Effecively, windows already have the ntp support. But if you have a windows computer which is integrated in domain, you can't adjust your time with native windows ntp tools. So this utility is very helpfull when you have a portable computer in a windows domain and you are far away your office and need to resyncronise. (before to blame a software, always think it's possibly poor user who can't use the computer as you do, everyone have is own taste and obligations ;) )

good program, however, it is better to support computers that only use proxy to connect to the internet.

FYI, like ahoier says, this is already in XP. It's also in many other Windows versions as well. You can also change the server to use, for instance if your office has an NTP server or you want to use a geographically closer server by modifying HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters\NtpServer in the registry.

Love this program. I run it in a mixed enviornment (NT, 2K, XP) in user's batch files.

Useful for systems with expired CMOS batteries.
That causes the time to reset everytime you boot.If you take the trouble to connect to the internet,you'll have the correct time.
