Is it possible to change the XP time server & update frequency?

My ISP has a time server, and it seems more sensible to use this than a
primary or secondary server.

Sure... See the very end of this page for the registry hack to do this...

Thanks, that's the interval sorted (although the "Next ..." box still
says a week away). How about the server?

Ignore me!

The "Next ..." now OK, and I re-read about typing in the value, D'OH!
