Even though Larry doesn't want to play with the registry it is IMHO the
fastest and easiest, and, you don't have someone else' utility doing exactly
that automagically for you.

In WIN7 I've done...

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32time\TimeProviders\NTPClient and
changed SPECIALPOLLINTERVAL to a decimal 3600 or whatever you want.

Hi Larry,

run regedit and change the update interval

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\W32Time\Config

change UpdateInterval to 3600 (decimal) -> every hour

Hi Larry,

Time synchronization is scheduled in the 'Task Manager' of Win 7.
Open 'Task Manager' and look for the item and edit it. Thanks for bringing
this to my attention as I just upgraded (?) to Win 7. I set mine to sync at
startup as I turn the PC off at night. My tracking software (Nova) also does
it when it is started. Also updates Keps.

73 de N7UB, Al
