Actually the most straightforward way if your OS is up to date and you
are not confined by a network, is to use the Windows utility. It works
and you never see it. The freeware commercial programs I've seen
usually require you to plow through popups and store some kind of
spyware.

The NIST software even looks like something from DOS. Very basic but
it works.

There are several ways to nudge the pc clock back to the correct

Later versions of Windows hit one of the time standard websites and
adjust the pc clock accordingly. Just set the time for when you will
be
connected. For those of us that have earlier versions of windows or
are not connected regularly, just download one of the time update
programs. The safest (no attached spyware) and simplest is
available
from the NIST website. Otherwise just manually reset the clock once
a
month.

None of this applies if you are on a network where the administrator
controls the clock. In that circumstance you are at the mercy of
the
admin's whim and interest in accurate timekeeping. My office pc
clock
is typically 2 minutes fast.

The safest and simplest is the one I put a link to. That's why I
posted it. Zero bull****.
