Disable InternetTime in Window XP
Hi All

Does any body know how to turn off the Automatic Time Synchronisation in Windows XP?

Are you referring to the 'Windows Time' service?

Maintains date and time synchronization on all clients and servers in the network. If this service is stopped, date and time synchronization will be unavailable. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.

If yes then this

WriteRegDWORD HKLM "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\w32time" "Start" "4"

will disable it upon reboot. Use the NsSCM plugin to stop the service (if you want)
