Solution 1

It can be done through P/Invoke of the Windows API SetLocalTime.

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724936(v=vs.85).aspx[^].

Complete with C# code:
http://pinvoke.net/default.aspx/kernel32.SetLocalTime[^].

Good luck,

5, but... I wouldn't recommend it. I'd hate a software that does this.

Thank you and -- I agree, but we don't know the purpose, maybe it's a must.
You warning is valuable and should be taken into account, of course.

Comment from OP:
thanks for your help,

but i told you ,it does not work in win 7.

do u have any solution?

I don't have Windows 7 installed right now, but... what exactly happens... chances are, you need to work with elevated privileges to run this code; this is one of the major Windows 7 difference; and there is nothing you can do about it (except XP compatibility mode).

Have a look at the SetSytemTime API as well[^].
