Windows XP has an atomic clock software built-in. You can change the atomic clock server the Windows taskbar clock checks into from time.windows.com to time.nist.gov through this procedure:

Click your right mouse button on clock on right side of Windows taskbar then click with your left mouse button Adjust Date/Time in the pop up submenu;

Now click Internet Time tab with your left mouse button then locate time.nist.gov in the drop down menu and then click Update Now with the left mouse button. Then click OK. Your taskbar clock should now be synchronized with the U.S government's atomic clock time servers on the Internet.

Dear Gold,

Thanks for the info. I run 95 myself so I didn't know about the built in NIST link in XP. I am greatly encouraged by the XP reports here and hope to be going that way soon. This has turned out to be one keeper of a thread.
