Hi Metin,

You can write something easily using wsh (windows scripting host), which is basically, vb.

Another approach:

Rename the control panel applet that sets the time and they won't have access to changing the time of the system.

If the cashiers know about dos, you will have to open command.com and/or cmd.exe with a hex editor, look for the string "time" and change it to something else.

Set the workstation to retrieve its time from a server (the command is "net time" something, can't remember now).

Go to a hospital and try to buy a finger (I'm sure you can get one somehow). Put it in a small jar with alcohol and leave it on the counter, next to the computer. Tell your cashiers that that's what happened to the last cashier you found messing around with the computer's time.

Alex
