Hi all!

Please help regarding the following situation:
- CMOS battery is dead
- new battery cannot be installed as the elastic metal tab keeping it in place is broken

I am after an automatic way to sync both time and DATE at startup.
I found various freeware software to sync the time, provided the date is OK. If the date is not OK, then some of them cannot sync the time. Some other do sync the time disregarding the date.

Is there any way to automatically update BOTH date and time at startup, even by means of a batch file, to fix this?

Not having correct date creates all sorts of problems, most annoying being the security certificates from various sites. Manually setting the date and time at startup is one way, but I really hope it can be done in a more "ellegant" way.

Thank you.
