Well, XP should automatically sync itself to atomic time.

You sure about that?

Yep. Right click your system tray and select "adjust date/time" then click the tab that says "internet time"

<-- too lazy for the screenie.

Windows can't keep track time. Windows may control the clock to an extent, but the time keeping is done by crystal oscillator on the motherboard. I'm sure it runs on battery the whole time.

CR2032 is only a few bucks.

Yeah but it only does that like every week. Can I set it to update every day or something?

This one will reset the clock every 24 hours automatically.
