Hi
I need to automaticly synchronize w. internet time server at startup, can i create a batch file or script file to do this ?
Reason my laptop CMOS(RTC) battery is gone, in order to replace it i have to unsoldered(the original battery) from the motherb(HP PAVILLION ZV 5000), so each time i turn it off i lose time and date, and i have to input it then each time i go to the desktop from the time and date properties(OS win xp pro), i am wondering if i can get this to work from the startup, any clues what should i do ?
Thanks
