Exactly. OS clocks can get screwed up, especially over time. Something to do with the CMOS battery age. I believe I read that somewhere years ago. Anyway, mine is 7 minutes slow. People who have this problem can use command prompt as administrator and change it. I've heard a lot of folks claim the next f'update just changes it back. Oh well.

It would be nice to SHELL the command, but I doubt that can be done in a simple way as an administrator within an app.

I was wondering if Spriggsy uses somethig like ShellExecute Windows API function and "runas."
