Windows XP timesync interval settings

by default, Windows XP will time sync with server every 7 days.. this is too long for my computer..

here's how to do it..

Adjust Interval

The time interval of the update is set at 7 days. This can be changed in the registry:

  1. Start the Registry Editor
  2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ W32Time \ TimeProviders \ NtpClient \
  3. Double-click the SpecialPollInterval value, and change the Base of the Value data to Decimal
  4. Now change the Value data to the time interval you desire, noting that the time is given in seconds (so for 1 day the value would be 86400, while the default (7 days) is 604800
  5. Close the registry editor
