Hi Dave,

thanks for the reply.
The two knowledge base articles refer to how to configure it.
I shoudl have said, I install my workstations in a workgroup environment.

The question is, how do I not install or remvoe the internet time option on XP?

Thanks,

Eduard

regedit, navigate to:
1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services \W32Time

Delete the W32Time key. When you double click on your clock and the box opens the Internet Time tab will still be the but you won't be able to do anything becausedeleting that key disables it.

Open computer management console, goto "services and application", click on "services", and select "windows time" - stop the service, select the "startup" setting, and select "disable", then click ok.
