It does not specify whether the Windows Time service should be restarted or not.

This article helped me, but shouldn't it be CurrentControlSet, I think so.

I am using Windows XP and I don't have a file called "NtpClient" :(

some people might not recognize that HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE is in the registry

Just what I wanted! Search the registry for "SpecialPollInterval" and change the time (in seconds to the value you want. Great for one of my PCs (a Lenovo) which has appalling timekeeping on the internal clock.

Refreshed my memory, but should be CurrentControlSet.

It is indeed a registry key which needs to change - click Start > Run; then type: REGEDIT followed by Enter to launch the Windows registry editor. Navigation is similar to Windows explorer, but take care what you edit as it is not difficult to disable your system. Novices should backup the registry before making changes. My PC clock is pretty poor at keeping time, so I have it set to update daily - i.e. 86400 seconds. It is wise to have several NTP time servers in your list as they can be unavailable (busy/offline) when you attempt to synchronise.
