How to Change System Date with Winbatch
Keywords: system date
Question:
I need to change the system date using WinBatch. I have tried something like:
newdate = "01/08/98"
RunWait(Environment("COMSPEC"),"/c date %newdate%")
using DOS, but this is not dependable because
the DOS window hangs on my Windows 95.
This does seem to work pretty good with
Win 3.1 though.
Answer:
See the function IntControl(58...), to set the system time.Article ID: W13136
