Setclock is a Java Web Start program that sets your PC clock accurately by probing an atomic clock on the web. Just click the clock logo above to try it.

If you just see the text of the JNLP file intead of starting the program, try starting it manually by starting Java Web Start, javaws.exe and launching the url http://mindprod.com/setclock.jnlp.

It requires Java and Java web Start installed.

Unfortunately SetClock only works for Windows computers since it has to use JNI native code.

Java Web Start will ask for permission to allow SetClock do the dangerous thing of setting your clock, by asking if you want to accept my self-signed certificate. If you say "no" it will abort.
