Mike:

Thanks for the tips, especially the one about including "howto" as a search keyword when searching the MS KB! I'll definitely start using that one!

In the Microsoft KB, be sure to add "howto" (yes, all one word) to your search string to get "how to" articles. For instance, "howto and system and time" pulled up exactly the article you would have wanted (though I don't like the approach taken with that code; use SetSystemTime() instead).
