@Noor: Just run the batch file with administrative privileges. I.e. right-click and »Run as administrator«. – Joey Feb 06 '11 at 18:23
THis is simple and nice.. Can it be converted to a batch script in some way? – Sisir Jun 25 '21 at 18:08

Correct. You need to use your admin powers in order to change the system time. – Kate Gregory Feb 07 '11 at 12:22
