Just as in Vista, you can synchronize your clock with an internet-based server in Windows 7. This will ensure that your computer date and time is always correct. Having the correct time is essential, especially when you want to search for files modified on a specified date; if the date is incorrect, you will have trouble finding your files.

In this article, you'll learn how to sync your clock's time with time.windows.com's time.

To synchronize your clock:

1. Click the Clock and click Change time and date settings...

2. Under the Internet Time tab, click Change Settings.

3. Check Synchronize time with an Internet time server. I chose to use the default windows.time.com and chose Update now. Then click OK.

Now your PC will maintain the correct time and resynchronize frequently (requires an internet connection.)
